Evolution of Word Forty.

We spell four and fourteen with a "u" but when it comes to forty we very properly leave the 'fu'' out. In tracing the word to its earliest form we find it disguised by being spelled feowertig taken from the word feower. which is four, and from tig, which meant ten. Thus the word feowertig was found in use in the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, but Chaucer in his Canterbury Tales changed the spelling to fourty. Then it again un- derwent a change and was spelled
