[From Latin undecim (eleven), from unus (one) + decem (ten),
+ -ennary, from annus (year).]
"It appears from an undecennary account laid before
Parliament."
E. Stiles; 1847.
Eleven, onze, once, elva, undici... some people see
double but this week
we're seeing eleven (from Old English endleofan,
literally "one left"
after counting 10).
Today, March 14, marks the eleventh anniversary of the
founding of
Wordsmith.org. On this undecennial we thank you, our
readers, for being
part of us.
To mark the occasion, this week we'll feature words
connected in some
way with eleven. By a happy coincidence, the number of
letters in today's
word is eleven.
