Morphology

nonillion = million (semi-transparent) = non + illion

Formed from the numeric prefix 'non-' (nine) applied to the '-illion' number-series morpheme (related to 'million'); the figurative informal sense is understandable as 'very large' but exact value is not predictable without knowledge of the naming scale.

Etymology

Nonillion comes from Latin nonus ('ninth') and the ending -illion, like in million. It was the ninth name in a series of very large numbers, so people often use nonillion to mean an extremely large or vague amount.
