Etymology 1[edit]

Inherited from Old East Slavic сорокъ (sorokŭ, a bunch of 40 sable pelts; forty), displaced четꙑредесѧте (četyredesęte, forty) (< Proto-Slavic *četyre desęte (forty)).

Further etymology is unclear. In the past regarded as borrowed from Byzantine Greek σαράκοντα (sarákonta, 40), but this etymology is dubious for phonetic and semantic reasons. The older meaning is a bunch of sable pelts. May be related to соро́чка (soróčka); compare Old Norse serkr (shirt; 200 furs), archaic Slovak meru (40) from Hungarian mérő (sack).

Pronunciation[edit]
