An iota is a very small amount, although it only occasionally refers to something that can actually be measured physically. It's also the name of the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet, which is how it became a stand-in for anything negligible. Now that you don't have an iota of doubt about this word's meaning, go forth and say it confidently!
Example: The researcher explained that there was not even an iota of evidence to support the theory.
