WORD HISTORY:
Ten-This word for the numerical value between nine and eleven goes back to Indo European "dekm," which meant "ten." This gave its Old Germanic offspring "tekhan," which then gave Old English (Anglo-Saxon) "tien/tene" (depending upon dialect). This then became ten, where it has remained for centuries. The other Germanic languages have: German "zehn," ^ Low German "taihn," West Frisian "tsien," Dutch "tien," Danish and Norwegian "ti," Icelandic "tiu," and Swedish "tio."
^ The German "z" is pronounced like the "ts" at the end of "hits."
