Etymology edit
Borrowed from Danish nul (“nobody”), from Italian nullo (“no, not any; null”) or French nul (“no, no one”), from Middle French nul (“nobody; no one”), from Old French nul (“nobody; no one”), both from Latin nūllus (“no one, none, not any”), from Proto-Italic *ne oinolos, from Proto-Italic *oinos (“one”), from Proto-Indo-European *óynos, perhaps from *éy (“he, she, it”) + *-nós (creates verbal adjectives).[1]

- 2004, Gunnar Dal, Þriðja árþúsundið: Framtíð manns og heims, page 58:
- Þeir menn virðast fara með sterk rök sem segja að núllið sé núll og núllið sé ekki tala og núllið sé ekki neitt stærðfræðilega séð.
- The men seem to come with good arguments that said that the zero is nothing and the zero is not a number and the zero is to be seen as nothing mathematical.
