the numbers 0-9; also refers to fingers or toes
from Latin 'digitus' meaning 'finger or toe', extended to mean 'number' because people originally counted on their fingers
We use a base-10 number system precisely because we have 10 fingers! Some cultures historically used base-20 systems because they counted fingers and toes together.
