ETIMOLOGIA DELLA PAROLA DOZEN
From Old French douzaine, from douze twelve, from Latin duodecim, from duo two + decem ten.
CHE SIGNIFICA DOZEN IN INGLESE
Dozzina
Una dozzina è un gruppo di dodici. La dozzina può essere uno dei primi gruppi primitivi, forse perché ci sono circa una dozzina di cicli della luna o dei mesi in un ciclo del sole o dell'anno. Dodici è conveniente perché ha più divisori di altri piccoli numeri: 12 = 2 × 6 = 3 × 4 = 1 × 12. L'uso di dodici come numero base, noto come il sistema duodecimale, probabilmente è nato in Mesopotamia. Questo potrebbe venire dal contare sulle proprie dita contando ogni osso di dito con il pollice. Usando questo metodo, una mano può contare a dodici e due mani possono contare a 144. Dodici dozzine sono conosciute come grossolane; E dodici lordi sono chiamati un grosso brutto, un termine usato più spesso quando si spedisce o acquista oggetti in massa. Un centinaio di cento, noto anche come un piccolo lordo, è di 120 o dieci dozzine. Una dozzina di panettiere, conosciuta anche come grande o lunga dozzina, è 13.
