FORTY

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 729 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FORTY , the cardinal number equal to four tens. The word is derived from the 0. Eng. feowertig, a combination of fakeer, four, and tig, an old form of " ten," used as a suffix, cf. Icel. tiu, Dan. ti, ten, and Ger. vierzig, forty. The name " The Forty " has been given to various bodies composed of that number of members, particularly to a judicial
body
  in ancient Athens, who tried small cases in the rural districts, and to a
court
  of criminal
jurisdiction
  and two civil appeal courts in the Venetian republic. The French
Academy
  (see ACADEMIES) has also been known as " The Forty " or " The Forty Immortals." The period just before the repeal of the corn
laws
  in the United Kingdom is frequently alluded to, particularly by the free
trade
  school, as the " hungry forties "; and the " roaring forties " is a sailor's name for the' stormy region between the 4oth and 50th latitudes N. and S., but more particularly applied to the portion of the north
Atlantic
  lying between those latitudes.
