I think Benoit is right about Integer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_%28computer_architecture%29

In MS way (the wrong way) it was; word (16bit), dword (32bit) and qword
(64bit).


Bits refers to the fact that status constants are presented by single bit.

Example (these are byte constants):
Constant A = 1, and in binary 00000001
Constant B = 2, and in binary 00000010
Constant C = 4, and in binary 00000100
Constant D = 8, and in binary 00001000

etc.

So, one byte size variable can present eight statuses at same time.
Example, if variable x has status A and C, it has value 5 = 00000101, etc.
