YES, pent is a word.It means confined, shut up or repressed.
"Pent" is not, itself, a number. "Pent" is the Latin prefix for things that have five equal sides. A pentagram is a five-sided figure. The Pentagon is a five-sided building.
The prefix "pent" means "five." It is derived from the Greek word "pente," which means "five."
