The prefixmacro-, of Greek origin, is a prefix indicating that something is large, wide, or long. For example: macromolecule, macrstructure.
His synonymous is he mega- prefix, although this other prefix is often used to indicate things of extraordinary size.
Its opposite is the prefix micro-, which is used to indicate that something is very small.
The prefix macro- indicates a size ratio and is therefore applicable to various fields of study and is used in both formal and informal language.
Often this term is used to define abstract systems. For example: macroeconomy.
On certain occasions this prefix is associated with concepts that serve to encompass other concepts. For example: macrostructure, macroinstruction.
