centigramme
Gram's small fraction
A centigramme is one hundredth of a gram—a unit of mass in the metric system.
The spelling with -mme is British; Americans write centigram.
The unit rarely appears outside scientific or pharmaceutical contexts, where such small quantities matter: The dosage was measured in centigrammes.
