milligramme
Thousandth of gram
Milligramme is the British spelling of milligram—one thousandth of a gram.
The unit measures tiny quantities, especially in pharmaceuticals and nutrition: The tablet contains 500 milligrammes of acetaminophen.
Both spellings are pronounced the same; the -gramme form appears in British and Commonwealth contexts.
