Etymology 1

[edit]
PIE word
*h₁óynos

From Middle English oon, on, oan, an, from Old English ān (“one”), from Proto-West Germanic *ain, from Proto-Germanic *ainaz (“one”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁óynos (“single, one”).

Cognate with Scots ae, ane, wan, yin (“one”); North Frisian ån (“one”); Saterland Frisian aan (“one”); West Frisian ien (“one”); Dutch een, één (“one”); German Low German een; German ein, eins (“one”); Danish en (“one”); Swedish en (“one”); Norwegian Nynorsk ein (“one”), Icelandic einn (“one”); Latin ūnus (“one”) (Old Latin oinos); Russian оди́н (odín), Spanish uno. Doublet of a, an, and Uno.

The use as an indefinite personal pronoun may have been influenced by unrelated French on,[1] although the Germanic languages widely use cognates for the same sense (usually in non-subject function, but also in subject function, e.g. Luxembourgish een).

Verb form from Middle English onen.

Pronunciation

[edit]

Around the 14th century, in southwest and western England, the word began to be pronounced with an initial /w/[1][2] (compare e.g. woak, Middle English wocke, a dialectal form of oak),[3] and the spellings won and wone began to be found alongside on, one;[4] the /w/, though initially nonstandard, had become the norm by the 18th century.[1] In alone, atone, and only,[2] as well as in the dialectal form un, 'un[1] (and in none and no),[5] the older pronunciations without /w/ are preserved,[1][2] while once shows the same /w/.

Numeral

[edit]

one

  1. The number represented by the Arabic numeral 1; the numerical value equal to that cardinal number.
    In some religions, there is only one god.
    In many cultures, a baby turns one year old a year after its birth.
    One person, one vote.
  2. (number theory) The first positive number in the set of natural numbers.
  3. (set theory) The cardinality of the smallest nonempty set.
  4. (mathematics) The ordinality of an element which has no predecessor, usually called first or number one.

Etymology 2

[edit]

Analogous to several senses of Hokkien ê and Mandarin 的 (de, declarative particle, nominalizer, etc.). This semantic loan might have stemmed from the apparent similarity between one as a prop-word and 的/-ê as a nominalizer (e.g. 青色的 (“the green one”)). Compare Cantonese 嘅 (ge3).
