There are at least three different words in modern English that are written "score":
- a musical score
- the result of a game, the number of points, goals or runs
- the number 20
All of these have their origin in the Old Norse (Scandinavian) word skor, a mark, tally, scratched line, or the number 20. The idea of keeping count of sheep (for example) by cutting notches in a stick, probably with a different type of mark for each 20, was later extended to the sense of a sports result and the scoring of lines on paper for writing sheet music.
Many Old Norse words passed into English as a result of the Viking occupation of large tracts of England in the Saxon/Viking era (the Danelaw).
