macro
Prefix meaning large
Macro means large-scale, the opposite of micro.
In computing, a macro is a single instruction that expands into a sequence of operations—a shortcut that automates repetitive tasks: I wrote a macro to format the spreadsheet.
In photography, macro refers to extreme close-up work that reveals fine detail: macro lens, macro photography.
The prefix appears in words like macroeconomics (economy-wide) and macrocosm (the universe at large).
