The word "kilogram" originates from the French term "kilogramme," which combines "kilo," a prefix meaning one thousand, with "gramme," derived from the Greek word "gramma," meaning a small weight. The kilogram was originally defined in the late 18th century as the mass of one liter of water at its maximum density. It has since become the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI).
