The Words of Mathematics, Schwartzman S., 1994.
 
   The mathematical words that we use in English come from many sources and have assumed their current fonns as a result of various processes, either alone or in combination. Some English words used in mathematics are of native origin. Many of those are descended directly from Indo-European.

The Words of Mathematics, Schwartzman S., 1994


A.
abridged (adjective): from Old French abregier, from Late Latin abbreviare "to shorten." The first component is from Latin ad- (q.v.) "to." The second component is from Latin brevis "short," which, via French, was borrowed into English as brief. The Indo-European root is mregh-u- "short." The word abridged is unrelated to native English bridge (q.v.). Abridged multiplication is a fonn of multiplication in which digits beyond a certain decimal place are deleted in each tenn of the partial product. [1, 138].

accrue (verb): from French accru( e ), past participIe of accroftre "to grow, increase"; from Latin ad "(on)to" and crescere "to grow." The Indo-European root is ker- "to grow." A related borrowing from French is crew, a group of people who increase your numbers. In finance, when interest accrues, it is added on to your capital, and the total amount of money you have grows bigger. [1,92].
