The word "eleven" comes from the word "endleofan"
Over the generations, "endleofan" has transmuted into "eleven"
"End" originally meant "one"
"leofan" means "left" hoặc "leave" hoặc "left over"
So "endleofan" means "One left over"
I think it's from Old English
In Lithuania, they used to (or still do, I'm not sure) count like "ten, eleven, twelve, thrilve, fouleven, fifleven, sixleven, sevenleven, eightleven, nineleven"
