2.	A group, set, or series of sixteen humans or entities: a hexadecimal or power-of-two unit.
3.	A standard quantity in computing, sports tournaments, and imperial [weight] (pese) systems (ounces in a pound).
4.	Denoting a structure based on sixteen components, such as a hexadecimal digit, a knockout tournament round, or a complete pound.

• It improves precision in descriptions of digital systems, sports competitions, and measurement [conversions].
