Latin: per centum
Italian per cento
Abbreviated to p. cento
Then just pc with a loop for the o in cento
Then the fraction bar came around to sub for per, the c became a circle, and % was born.
(Most of this after the adoption of Arabic numerals)
25 4 ReplyThe c became a circle is nonsense. The two circles in % denote the two zeros in 100, as they denote the three zeros in thousand/per mille: ‰.
