Etymology of one
Posted by Johannes on 10 December 2011
The word one comes from the Latin unus, which in turn derives from the Greek oenos [one, ace in dice; Gr: οινός].
Note: Some etymologize unus from the gen. enos of eis [one; Gr: εις].
From the same root: unity, unique.
In modern Greek (Romeika, Rumca):
a) enas: one [Gr: ένας]
b) enotita: unity [Gr: ενότητα]
