SCORE (O.E. scor, from sceran, to cut, notch, cf. " shear ")

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 409 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCORE (O.E. scor, from sceran, to cut, notch, cf. " shear ") , properly a notch or groove cut in a piece of
wood
 , called a " tally " (q.v.), as a method of counting ; hence an account or reckoning made in this way. Either from a custom of keeping each
series
  of twenty numbers or notches on a
separate
  tally, or of marking the twentieth number by a longer or deeper mark, the word was early used to denote the number twenty; it is still used as a measure of
weight
 , equivalent to 20 Ib, computing the
weight
  of animals sold for slaughtering for food. In music, a score is the written or printed copy of a composition on two or more staves, barred and braced together. For instrumental and vocal music a " full score " has the parts for each class of voice and
instrument
  on a
separate
  staff.
