Formed by analogy with numeral words like 'million'/'billion' to indicate an indefinitely very large number, a meaning readily inferable by learners.
Etymology
Bazillion is a playful made-up number built from the familiar -illion in million and billion, with a silly start baz. So when someone says bazillion they mean a very large amount 'not exact' used just for emphasis.
