Ctge

/ˌsiːtiːˈdʒiːiː/ noun

Definition

A plural or variant form of centtigram measurements, though rarely used in standard scientific notation.

Etymology

Variant or plural extension of 'ctg,' following older conventions for abbreviation pluralization that are now largely obsolete in modern scientific usage.

Kelly Says

Most scientists today don't pluralize metric abbreviations—you'd say '5 ctg' not '5 ctge'—showing how language evolves as fields become more standardized.
