The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time.

- I've come late to this one. OED (the century old free one) entry for arithmetic says "Erronously referred in M.E. to L. ars metrica 'art of measure' and made into arsmetrike, the common form from 14th to 16th c., which was gradually corrected, through arismetrik in Caxton, arithmetricke in Sir T. More, to arithmetyke in Recorde 1543." With citations of arsmetryke from 1494 (under arithmetic) and 1509 (under add). James A. H. Murray [et al.], editors (1884–1928), “Arithmetic”, in A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles (Oxford English Dictionary), volumes I (A–B), London: Clarendon Press, →OCLC, page 447, column 2.
