ordinal number词源
late Old English, from hund 'hundred' （from an Indo-European root shared with Latin centum and Greek hekaton）+a second element meaning 'number'; of Germanic origin and related to Dutch honderd and German hundert. The noun sense 'subdivision of a county' is of uncertain origin: it may originally have been equivalent to a hundred hides of land （see HIDE3）.
