Etymology
Δεκαπέντε is a compound of δέκα (ten) and πέντε (five). Ancient Greek formed the teens with a phrase like πεντεκαίδεκα, literally five-and-ten, which later simplified into the fused form δεκαπέντε used today. Δέκα and πέντε are both old Indo-European number words with wide cognate networks across the family.
