núll

Borrowed from Danish nul (“nobody”), from Italian nullo (“no, not any; null”) or French nul (“no, no one”), from Middle French nul (“nobody; no one”), from Old French nul (“nobody; no one”), both from Latin nūllus (“no one, none, not any”), from Proto-Italic *ne oinolos, from Proto-Italic *oinos (“one”), from Proto-Indo-European *óynos, perhaps from *éy (“he, she, it”) + *-nós (creates verbal adjectives).[1]

   • 2004, Gunnar Dal, Þriðja árþúsundið: Framtíð manns og heims, page 58:

     Þeir menn virðast fara með sterk rök sem segja að núllið sé núll og núllið sé ekki tala og núllið sé ekki neitt stærðfræðilega séð.

     The men seem to come with good arguments that said that the zero is nothing and the zero is not a number and the zero is to be seen as nothing mathematical.
