pico-

( pref.)

   [SI: a quantifier meaning × 10^-12] Smaller than {nano-}; used in the
   same rather loose connotative way as {nano-} and {micro-}. This usage
   is  not yet common in the way {nano-} and {micro-} are, but should be
   instantly   recognizable  to  any  hacker.  See  also  {quantifiers},
   {micro-}.
