What does BICRON mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A unit of length equal to one billionth of a metre.

It was formed on the pattern of micron, the millionth of a metre, with the prefix bi- standing for the thousand-million step in the old naming scheme. Modern measurement has dropped it in favour of the standardised metric prefixes, so it is mostly seen in dated physics texts.
