Etymology

From Middle Dutch nommer, from Old French nombre, from Latin numerus. The shift from masculine gender in Middle Dutch to neuter gender in modern Dutch is potentially due to the influence of its synonyms getal and cijfer which both have the neuter gender.

  • Audio:(file)
  • Hyphenation: num‧mer
  • Rhymes: -ʏmər

Noun

nummer n (plural nummers, diminutive nummertje n)

  1. number used as a means of identification
  2. number (used to show the rank of something in a list or sequence)

  4. issue of a publication (e.g. a magazine)
  5. number of an item on a menu; (by extension) a dish identified by such a number
