HUND'RED, noun

A collection, body or sum, consisting of ten times ten individuals or units; the number 100.

A division or part of a county in England, supposed to have originally contained a hundred families, or a hundred warriors, or a hundred manors. [But as the word denotes primarily a circuit or division, it is not certin that Alfred's divisions had any reference to that number.]
