kilo- a combining form used in the names of units of measure equal to one thousand of a given base unit: kiloliter; kilowatt. [< French, representing Greek chilioi a thousand]
The prefix kilo is derived from the Greek word ÏÎ¯Î»Î¹Î¿Î¹ (chilioi), meaning thousand.It was originally adopted by Antoine Lavoisier 's research group in 1795, and introduced into the metric system in France with its establishment in 1799.t uses kilo as meaning 2 10 = 1024, because of the mathematical coincidence that 2 10 is approximately 10 3. The reason for this application is that binary values natively used in computing are base 2 and not the base 10 which is used for the SI prefixes.
