vingt

common nounadjective

Syllable Decomposition

vingt

from the late Latin vinti dif=vīnti (dif=vīnti) (attested) or vinti (depending on the region), in classical Latin viginti. the maintenance of the short ĭ of the stressed syllable, in French, is due to a dilation effect. the word was written vint in the Middle Ages. the spelling vingt, generalized in the Renaissance, is therefore a false regression.
