Derived terms

Etymology 2

According to Zorc (1993), the word is possibly either:

  • A Spanish-esque pronunciation pun sounding like Spanish once (“eleven”) (see etymology 1), from English once (“one time”), a loose calque of makaisa (“to get one of something; to be able to score a point; to fool someone”). See also wans.
  • Related to the double line visuals of the written number 11, possibly about double-dealing. The sense can also be possibly about having a one up (an advantage) above a common arbitrary number 10.

See also maisahan (“to be able to get one-upped”).

Noun
