bốn mươi
/ˈfɔːti//ˈfɔːrti/The origin of the word "forty" can be traced back to Old English, where it was spelled as "fōr Gesæg" or "fourscore." These words literally translated to "four times twenty" in the Anglo-Saxon language, representing a way of expressing larger numbers through simple multiplication. Over time, the word "fōr Gesæg" was contracted and simplified into "fourscore," which became widely used during the 17th and 18th centuries. In modern English, the word "fourscore" is less commonly used, but "forty" remains as a simple and direct representation of the number forty. The evolution of this word over time serves as a testament to the development of English language and mathematics.
