Etymology
Megadeath begins with mega-, a beginning part that means 'large' or 'million' and appears in megabyte, and ends with death; it was created during the Cold War to count the possible deaths from nuclear bombs. So a megadeath means the death of one million people and is used to measure very large disasters.
