Etymology

The French noun **douzaine** is built from the number **douze** (“twelve”), which itself comes from the Latin *duodecim* (“twelve”). In Old French a collective suffix **‑aine** (from Latin *‑āne*, *‑āna*) was added, giving *douzaine* meaning “a group of twelve”. The form has been stable since the Middle Ages, with only plural changes (“douzaines”) over time.
