/ˈɔrə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin ora.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin ora ounce of silver (950; frequently from 1086 in British sources) < Old English ōran , plural of ȳre ( < early Scandinavian; compare Old Icelandic eyrir (plural aurar ), Norwegian øre , Old Swedish öre (Swedish öre ), Danish øre < classical Latin aureus aureus n.). Compare ore n.⁶ and later ore n.⁹In Old English the singular and plural forms, apparently representing separate borrowings of the early Scandinavian singular and plural forms, appear to have been assigned to different declensions: the singular to the masculine i -stem declension, and the plural to the masculine n -stem declension; compare:OE (Northumbrian) Lindisf. Gospels: Luke xix. 13 Dedit illis decem mnas et ait ad illos negotiamini dum uenio : salde ðæm tea ora uel libras & cuoeð to ðæm ceapigas oðþæt ic cymo.OE Manumission, Bath (Corpus Cambr. 140) in J.

J. Robertson Anglo-Saxon Charters (1956) 80 Þa bohte man æt Mannele & æt his wife lx æcera mid þrim pundum & mid anum yre. The plural form orae in quot. 1707 at sense 1 is formed as if ora were a Latin noun of the first declension.

historical.

1. A unit of weight of Danish origin, equal to one-eighth of a mark, introduced into England during the Viking Age and used between the 10th and 12th centuries.In Domesday Bk. the ora is reckoned at twenty (sterling) pennyweights; earlier, it had probably been reckoned at sixteen heavier ones.

1976 Anglo-Saxon Eng. 5 190 It may have been to avoid accounting confusion that from an uncertain date in the tenth century the Viking term ‘ora’ began to be used to denote one-fifteenth of a pound, both as a weight (namely an ounce) and as the nominal value of sixteen pence.

1985 Econ. Hist. Rev. 38 194 There is evidence at the end of the tenth century that the Anglo-Saxons were using..a weight system based on a fifteen-ora pound.

2. A monetary unit used in the same period. Cf. ore n.⁹In Domesday Bk. (and probably earlier) the ora is reckoned at sixteen pence, unless of silver, when it is reckoned at twenty pence. The Old English Laws of Edward & Guthrum imply that a fine in the Danelaw is at the rate of one ora for every two and a half English shillings (see quot. lOE¹ in etymological note), but these sums are unlikely to have been equal.
