nonet

  • /nɒˈnɛt/

Where it comes from

From Italian nonetto, from nono (“ninth”).

noun nonets

  1. A composition for nine instruments or nine voices. The small-group sides are the best, with the nonet in particular coming through as a sparkling unit that deserves an LP to itself.
  2. A group of nine nuclear or subatomic particles.
  3. A byte of nine bits. The 9-bit nonet is a much more sensible representation.
