ett

one · Numeral, Indefinite Article (et)

Definition: The cardinal number following zero and preceding two, representing a single unit. It can also be used as an indefinite article for neuter gender nouns.
Inflections: ett
Origin: From Old Norse 'eitt', which is the neuter form of the numeral 'einn' (one). This, in turn, derives from Proto-Germanic '*ainaz' and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European '*h₁óynos'. The ultimate root signifies 'unity' or 'oneness'.
