6. Q1.
• The origins of this phrase are not fully known, but one common explanation was that
when the game was first being played back in medieval times, a clock face was used on
court. The clock hand would move a quarter for each point. When the hand moved to
sixty, the game was over. Therefore, the scoring would be, 15, 30, 45, and 60 instead of
the traditional 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
• Whoever scored 60 (4 points) first would win the game. However, instead of using
“zero” this phrase was used. Since, the key word in the phrase comes from the French
word l’oeuf, meaning egg which symbolizes nothing, it is assumed that this phrase was
used because it represents zero. Another explanation for the use of the word “X” is
because the egg looks like a zero.
