- Quantrum may be used freely whenever a situation arises when one must guess the value of a number. There is no specific term for numerical guessing in English and so my roommate came up with a term to further make English one of the most specific languages on Earth.
Quantrum
noun Novel Creation
An opinion one reaches to about a numerical value without sufficient proof. A guess of a number for something.
Etymology : The idea originated with the word to guess. Which is probably Scandinavian in origin. The lack of specificity for number guessing stirred the reason for the creation of the word quantrum.
