micros
Smaller than minis
Micros is the plural of micro, a prefix meaning extremely small or one millionth of a unit.
In casual usage, micros often refers to micronutrients, microgreens, or microdoses: I need to hit my micros today, She added some micros to her salad.
In gaming and strategy contexts, micros means micromanagement—the fine-grained control of individual units or resources: His micros are insane.
