Which letter is silent in the word "Scent," the S or the C?Yay, morphology/etymology/homophony games. The addition of the letter “c” was most likely due to this word being a homophone of “sent”, the past tense of “send” because the word it was borrowed from did not have the “c” in the spelling, unlike science (from Latin scientia, where the “c” was originally pronounced like a k).
Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn't it be called double V?It’s called double-V in French. In German, it’s just called V. And in Latin, the character V was either pronounced U or W, hence two of them ending up as “double-U” in English (since the pronunciation of U and V was transposed at one time, i.e. U was pronounced V and vice versa).
