Where it comes from
PIE word
*h₁óynos
Learned borrowing from Spanish uno m (“one”, numeral).
interjection
- A term said when the number of cards in player’s hand is reduced to one. If another player says this before the one whose hand contains only one card, the player who failed to say 'uno' must draw two cards.
Uno²
Where it comes from
Borrowed from Italian and Spanish uno (“one”); players must call "uno" when down to their last card. Doublet of an and one.
proper noun UNO
- A card game similar to crazy eights, played with specially printed cards that have colours instead of suits. With five kids, I’ve played a lot of Uno over the years, and I’m going to be honest: Uno is less of a card game and more of a test of your fortitude and moral character.
Uno³
Where it comes from
Borrowed from Japanese 宇野 (Uno) or うの (Uno).
proper noun Unos
- A female given name from Japanese.
- A surname from Japanese.
UNO⁴
proper noun U.N.O. · U. N. O.
- Initialism of United Nations Organization
UNO⁵
proper noun
- Alternative letter-case form of Uno (“card game”). To be able to profit from the moment of playfulness we combined the card-game UNO with some additional question cards following the standard rules of the game. We chose this well-known card game as basis, because it is easy to play for children, but also addresses adults.
