Long hundred

120 (as in six score, rather than 100)

The long hundred, also known as the great hundred or twelfty, is the number 120 that was referred to as hund, hund-teontig, hundrað, hundrath, or hundred in Germanic languages prior to the 15th century, and is now known as one hundred (and) twenty. The number was translated into Latin in Germanic-speaking countries as centum (Roman numeral C), but the qualifier long is now added because English now uses hundred exclusively to refer to the number 100 instead.
