Etymology

[edit]

Inherited fromMiddle Frenchsix, fromOld Frenchsis,six, fromLatinsex, fromProto-Indo-European*swéḱs.

The numberssix anddix(“ten”), as well as the pronountous(“all”), are remnants of the Old and Middle French pronunciation system where final-s or-x was silent before consonants, pronounced/z/ before vowels, and/s/ inpausa. The only change is that the pausal pronunciation is now invariably used when these words do not precede their referent.
