C, third letter in the English- and Romance-language alphabets. The symbol is
derived from Latin C, a rounding of the Greek G, gamma, which was derived
from a Phoenician symbol called gimel or camel, which was in turn developed
from an Egyptian symbol.
Latin c had both a g and a k sound. In Anglo-Saxon, c had at first only the
k sound, the modern word child having been spelled cild. By the 12th century
c had the sound of s in a number of words. From this arose the modern rule
that c has the s or sh
sound before e, i, y ae, and oe, and the k sound in all other cases.
"C," (c) 1994 Funk & Wagnall's Corporation. --
