Definitions
Referring to an Indo-European language that did not produce sibilants from a series of Proto-Indo-European palatovelar stops.
Word origin
Learned borrowing from Latin centum (“hundred”), attested at least since 1890s. Its use in linguistics is due to it being a canonical example of a word retaining an original velar stop, as opposed to Avestan 𐬯𐬀𐬙𐬆𐬨 (satəm). Doublet of hundred and satem.
