per centum
per cen·tum P0182400 (pər sĕn′təm)n. See percent.
[Latin; see percent.]per•cent or per cent (pərˈsɛnt)
n. 1. one one-hundredth part; 1/100. 2. percentage (defs. 1, 3). 3. Brit. stocks, bonds, etc., that bear an indicated rate of interest. adj. 4. figured or expressed on the basis of a rate or proportion per hundred (used in combination with a number in expressing rates of interest, proportions, etc.). Symbol: % [1560–70; short for Medieval Latin per centum by the hundred] per•cent′al, adj. usage: percent is derived from per cent., an abbreviation in English of per centum, a phrase borrowed directly from Latin. The use of the two-word form is diminishing. The percent sign (%) is used chiefly in scientific, tabular, or statistical material and only with numerals preceding it: 58%. In the sense “proportion in general,” with no preceding number, percent and percentage are frequently interchangeable, but percentage is much more common: a certain percentage (or percent) of the land.
