Etymology
Douăzeci is built from două, the Romanian word for two, and zeci, the plural of zece, meaning ten. So it literally reads as two tens. Romanian forms all its tens this way, from treizeci (thirty) up through nouăzeci (ninety), a pattern inherited from Latin's own vigesimal-free decimal counting.
