Microsecond

A microsecond (µs) is a unit of time equal to one-millionth (1/1,000,000) of a second. It is used to measure extremely short time intervals, typically in areas such as computing, telecommunications, and scientific research.

Origin:

The microsecond is derived from the second, the base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI). The prefix "micro-" comes from the Greek word mikros, meaning small. Microseconds were introduced as time measurement became more precise, especially with the advent of high-speed digital technology, which required finer time intervals. They are now commonly used in contexts where time intervals are too brief to be measured in whole seconds.
