Morphology

Zibit = bit + zebi (semi-transparent) = zebi + bit

Formed by the binary prefix 'zebi-' plus 'bit'; the relation to 'bit' is clear but the exact magnitude (2^70) requires technical knowledge of binary prefixes.

Etymology

The word Zibit comes from the binary prefix zebi, used for very large amounts in computer counting, and the familiar bit, which means 'a small unit of digital data'. Like mega or giga but much bigger, a Zibit therefore names a very huge amount of bits.
