Etymology
[edit]From Middle English hundred, from Old English hundred, from Proto-Germanic *hundaradą, from *hundą (from Proto-Indo-European *ḱm̥tóm) + *radą (“count”), a neuter variant of *radō (“row, line, series”).[1] Compare West Frisian hûndert, Dutch honderd, Low German hunnert, hunnerd, German Hundert, Danish hundred.

Numeral
[edit]hundred (plural hundreds)
- A numerical value equal to 100 (102), occurring after ninety-nine.
- hundreds of places, hundreds of thousands of faces
- a hundred, one hundred
- nineteen hundred, one thousand nine hundred
- (24-hour clock) The pronunciation of “00” for the two digits denoting the minutes.
- 2002, Michael Prescott, Next Victim, Signet, page 185:
- “Okay. You head over to City Hall East. I’ll meet you there. The briefing starts at eleven hundred, sharp.”
Usage notes
[edit]Unlike cardinal numerals up to ninety-nine, the word hundred is a noun like dozen and needs a determiner or other modifier to function as a numeral.
- a hundred women / one hundred women / the hundred women
- compare a dozen women / one dozen women / the dozen women
- compare ten women / the ten women
Hundred can be used also in plurals. It doesn't take -s when preceded by a determiner.
- two hundred women / some hundred women
- hundreds of women
In telling military time, "hundred" is typically only used for exact hours, e.g. 09:00 is "oh nine hundred" and 21:00 is "twenty-one hundred", while 03:30 is "oh three thirty". Sometimes, nonstandardly (e.g. in fiction by authors not entirely familiar with military time-telling), 03:30 may be read as "oh three hundred thirty".
