  macro
       
          A name (possibly followed by a formal argument list) that is
          equated to a text or symbolic expression to which it is to be
          expanded (possibly with the substitution of actual
          arguments) by a macro expander.
       
          The term "macro" originated in early assemblers, which
          encouraged the use of macros as a structuring and
          information-hiding device.  During the early 1970s, macro
          assemblers became ubiquitous, and sometimes quite as powerful
          and expensive as HLLs, only to fall from favour as improving
          compiler technology marginalised assembly language
          programming (see languages of choice).  Nowadays the term is
          most often used in connection with the C preprocessor,
          Lisp, or one of several special-purpose languages built
          around a macro-expansion facility (such as TeX or Unix's
          troff suite).
       
          Indeed, the meaning has drifted enough that the collective
          "macros" is now sometimes used for code in any special-purpose
          application control language (whether or not the language is
          actually translated by text expansion), and for macro-like
          entities such as the "keyboard macros" supported in some text
          editors (and PC TSRs or Macintosh INIT/CDEV keyboard
          enhancers).

  macro \macro\ a.
     very large in scale or scope or capability; as,
     macroeconomics.
     [WordNet 1.5]

  Macro- \Mac"ro-\pref. [Gr. makro`s, adj.]
     A combining form signifying long, large, great; as
     macrodiagonal, macrospore, macromolecule, macrocosm.
     [1913 Webster]

  macro \macro\ n. [shortened form of macroinstruction]
     1. a single computer instruction which symbolizes, and is
        converted at the time of program execution or by a
        compiler into, a series of instructions in the same
        computer language.
        [WordNet 1.5]
  
     2. A keystroke (or combination of keystrokes) which
        symbolizes and is replaced by a series of keystrokes; -- a
        convenient feature of some advanced programs, such as word
        processors or database programs, which allows a user to
        rapidly execute any series of operations which may be
        performed multiple times. Such macros may typically be
        defined by the program user, without rewriting or
        recompiling the program.

  macro /mak'roh/ n. [techspeak] A name (possibly followed by a formal
     arg list) that is equated to a text or symbolic expression to which it
     is to be expanded (possibly with the substitution of actual arguments)
     by a macro expander. This definition can be found in any technical
     dictionary; what those won't tell you is how the hackish connotations of
     the term have changed over time.
  
     The term `macro' originated in early assemblers, which encouraged the
     use of macros as a structuring and information-hiding device. During the
     early 1970s, macro assemblers became ubiquitous, and sometimes quite as
     powerful and expensive as HLLs, only to fall from favor as improving
     compiler technology marginalized assembler programming (see languages
     of choice). Nowadays the term is most often used in connection with the
     C preprocessor, LISP, or one of several special-purpose languages built
     around a macro-expansion facility (such as TeX or Unix's [nt]roff
     suite).
  
     Indeed, the meaning has drifted enough that the collective `macros' is
     now sometimes used for code in any special-purpose application control
     language (whether or not the language is actually translated by text
