dime. Dymes—the word’s origin from the Latin decema, “a 10th part”—were originally the tithe, or 10th, of one’s income paid as a tax to the church by temporal rulers. Chaucer so used the word in 1362 and it was not employed in its present sense— for a U.S. coin representing [[TN]]of a dollar—until 1786. |
