Look up zepto- in
Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

zepto- (symbol z) is a prefix in the SI system of units denoting a factor of 10−21.

Adopted in 1991, it comes from the French sept or Latin septem, meaning seven, since it is equal to 1/10007.

An example of its use would be for the charge on the electron: 160 zeptocoulombs (zC).
