110 (number)

110 (one hundred [and] ten) is the natural number following 109 and preceding 111.

It is also known as "eleventy", a term made famous by linguist and author J. R. R. Tolkien (Bilbo Baggins celebrates his eleventy-first birthday at the beginning of The Lord of the Rings) and derived from the Old English hund endleofantig.^[1] When the word eleventy is used, it may indicate the exact number (110), or more commonly an indefinite large number such as gazillion.
