Definition
  1. Adjective:
    • Being four more than forty: The word "xliv" is a Roman numeral representing the cardinal number forty-four (44). It is formed by combining the symbols for forty (XL) and four (IV).
Usage
  • "Xliv" is used almost exclusively in Roman numeral notation. It is not used in standard prose or speech. When encountered, it should be read or translated as the number "forty-four."
  • It is typically found in contexts like outlines, clock faces, book prefaces, monarch names, and historical dates.
Examples
  • Adjective:
    • The chapter numbers in the preface are written in Roman numerals: Chapter xliv. (This means Chapter 44.)
    • King Louis xliv of France ruled in the 17th century. (This refers to King Louis 44, though the more common historical figure is Louis XIV, or 14.)
    • The copyright date on the old book is listed as MCM xliv. (This indicates the year 1944.)
Advanced Usage

Notes on Meaning
