公元1300年, doseine,"十二个事物或单位的集合",源自古法语 dozaine "十二,十二个的数量"在各种用法中,来自 doze(12世纪)"十二",源自拉丁语 duodecim "十二",源自 duo "二"(来自 PIE 词根 *dwo- "二")+ decem "十"(来自 PIE 词根 *dekm- "十")。古法语的女性后缀 -aine 通常被添加到基数词中,以形成精确意义上的集合("确切地12个",而不是"大约12个")。
拉丁词的后代广泛存在:西班牙语 docena,荷兰语 dozijn,德语 dutzend,丹麦语 dusin,俄语 duizhina 等。The dozens "辱骂竞赛"(1928年)起源于奴隶文化,这个习俗可能来自非洲,这个词可能源自 bulldoze(详见)其原始意义为"鞭打,抽打"。
Middle English dozeine, from Anglo-French duzeine, dozeyne, from duze twelve, from Latin duodecim, from duo two + decem ten — more at two, ten
