    [Noun]  | "dig*it" | \ ˈdi-jət \


    1: any of the Arabic numerals 1 to 9 and usually the symbol 0

    2: one of the elements that combine to form numbers in a system other than the decimal system

    3: the digits of a telephone number

    Origin: 14th century ;

     Middle English, "whole number less than ten, Arabic figure used to represent it," borrowed from Latin digitus "finger, toe, finger's breadth as a measure" (Medieval Latin also "whole number less than ten"), of uncertain origin;

      * Note : The Latin word digitus has long been associated with the base *deik-evident in dīcere "to talk, speak" and related words descended from Indo-European *dei̯ḱ- "show, point out" (see: {diction|diction}), though explanations for the voicing of the velar stop, as remote assimilation or dissimilation, are difficult to sustain. Ernout and Meillet (Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue latine) suggest a connection with a root *dei̯g-, taken to be a variant of *dei̯ḱ- and reflected in Gothic taikns "sign," etc. (see: {token:1|token:1}, {teach|teach}), but more recent thinking (as G. Kroonen, Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic) trace the Germanic etymon directly to *dei̯ḱ-.Digitus hence remains without a certain etymology. Compare {dactyl|dactyl}, {toe:1|toe:1}.;
