why “seven”?

340 viewsOther

I’ve always wondered why the numbers “one” through “ten” in the English language are all 1 syllable, but “seven” is the only one with 2 syllables. Not sure if this is just random and I notice things like that, or if there is actually a reason behind it.

Thank you all for the answers! Learning something new is cool. Somehow, knowing that, at the end of the day, it just “is what it is” actually brings me peace for some reason haha.
