Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin numerus , -ically suffix.

Etymology: < classical Latin numerus number n. + -ically suffix. Compare later numeric adj., numerical adj.In sense 1 after classical Latin numerō numero adv., especially in the post-classical Latin phrase idem numero the same in number (a1273 in Thomas Aquinas), after ancient Greek ἀριθμῷ..τὸ ταὐτὸν (Aristotle Topica 103^a8).

I. Senses relating to identity or difference.

a. Chiefly Philosophy. With respect to number (as a property); as regards that property of a thing by which it is (or is not) strictly distinct from another, regardless of other similarity or difference. Cf. numerical adj. 1, 2.
