Etymology[edit]
From Middle French cinq, from Old French cinc, from Vulgar Latin cīnque, dissimilation of Classical Latin quīnque (“five”), from Proto-Italic *kʷenkʷe, from Proto-Indo-European *pénkʷe, cognate with Portuguese and Spanish cinco, Italian cinque.
Pronunciation[edit]
- IPA(key): /sɛ̃k/
- IPA(key): /sɛ̃/
- The form without /k/ may be used before any modified word in a consonant or aspirated h, but this is increasingly dated. It remains more or less obligatory before cents and mille, and is also usual before units of measurement (like minutes, mètres).
- Homophones: ceins, ceint, ceints, sain, sains, saint, saints, sein, seing, seings, seins
