    Explain number three etymology

    The English word "three" comes from Old English "þrēo", which is of Germanic origin. It is related to similar
    words in other Germanic languages such as German "drei" and Dutch "drie". The origin of the Proto-
    Germanic word is uncertain, but it may be related to the Proto-Indo-European root "trei-", which also gave
    rise to words for "three" in other Indo-European languages such as Latin "tres" and Greek "treis".
