Etymology of SEVENSCORE

The word "sevenscore" is a compound formed by combining the word "seven" with the word "score".

The word "seven" has its origin in the Old English word "seofon" which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "sebun". "Seven" has cognates in other Germanic languages like German "sieben" and Dutch "zeven".

On the other hand, the word "score" originally meant "a tally or record of twenty", and it is derived from the Old English word "scora". This term also has its roots in the Proto-Germanic word "skuraz", meaning "a notch or incision".

In combination, the term "sevenscore" signifies seven times twenty or 140. It is an archaic way of expressing the number 140, with the "score" being a historical unit of count.
