Etymology

The word eighty originated from the Old English term 'eahtatig' which is a combination of 'eahta' (eight) and 'tig' (group of ten). Over the years, the spelling and pronunciation evolved to its current form 'eighty'. The concept of counting by tens and using base-10 numeral system contributed to the development of the word eighty as a numerical term.
