WORD HISTORY:
Eleven-This word for the numerical value between ten and twelve is really a Germanic compound, "ainlif" (ain-lif), which literally means, "one left:'' that is, "one left over from ten." The "ain" part goes back to Indo European "oino/oynos," which meant "one, one of a kind, single," and it is the ancestor of English "one." The "lif" part goes back to Indo European "leip/laib," which meant "to stick, to adhere," which then gave Old Germanic "laibjana," a verb form meaning "to have stay or remain," with the "stick/adhere" notion producing the meaning "stay/remain" (if you're stuck, you have to stay). The Old Germanic compound "ainlif" gave Old English (Anglo-Saxon) "eandleofan." This then became "elleovene/elleven/enleven," depending upon dialect and time frame, before the modern version. The other Germanic languages have: German and Dutch "elf," Low German "elven," West Frisian "alve," North Frisian "alwen," Danish and Norwegian "elleve,'' Swedish "elva," and Icelandic "ellefu."
