A degree is a level; it derives from the Latin word for a step.

Umpteen is one of a number of number-words which do not mean a particular number, but mean "a lot". Another similar word is gazillion. But whereas gazillion implies that there are so many you cannot count them, umpteen suggests that there are a lot, but they are countable (they are in the range between ten and twenty).
