In English and related languages, several terms involving the words "great" or "gross" relate to numbers involving a multiple of exponents of twelve (dozen): The term can be abbreviated gr.
It derives from the Old French grosse douzaine, meaning "large dozen”.
[5] The continued use of these terms in measurement and counting represents the duodecimal number system.
[6] This has led groups such as the Dozenal Society of America to advocate for wider use of "gross" and related terms instead of the decimal system.
