==Etymology==
The term ''arithmancy'' is derived from two Greek words – ''arithmos'' (meaning number) and ''manteia'' (meaning [[divination]]). "Αριθμομαντεία" Arithmancy is thus the study of divination through numbers.{{sfn|Francis-Cheung|2006|p=31}} Although the word "arithmancy" dates to the 1570s,<ref>{{cite web |title=arithmancy (n.) |url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/arithmancy |work=etymonline.com}}</ref> the word "numerology" is not recorded in English before c. 1907.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://oed.com/start;jsessionid=013366567803A10613B932EFA19B8F57?authRejection=true&url=%2Fview%2FEntry%2F129129%3FredirectedFrom%3Dnumerology%26|title=Home : Oxford English Dictionary|website=oed.com|access-date=10 May 2019|archive-date=21 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210121050651/https://oed.com/start;jsessionid=013366567803A10613B932EFA19B8F57?authRejection=true&url=%2Fview%2FEntry%2F129129%3FredirectedFrom%3Dnumerology%26|url-status=dead}}</ref>
