Meaning & usage

num/ˈu.nu/
  1. one

Where this word comes from

Inherited from Latin ūnus, from Old Latin oinos, from Proto-Italic *oinos, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁óynos (“one, single”). The reason why unu was exempt from the widespread dropping of word-final /u/ at the time was because the word’s use is reserved for counting only, whereas its doublet un did undergo word-final /u/ dropping because it had become the indefinite article, and so the two became separate words; one being the indefinite article, and the other being the number one in general.

pron/ˈu.nu/
  1. you (second person plural pronoun)
