The word zero came into the English language via French zéro from the Italian zero, a contraction of the Venetian zevero form of Italian zefiro via ṣafira or ṣifr. In pre-Islamic time, the word ṣifr (Arabic صفر) had the meaning "empty". But, there is not emptiness within the dimensions. There is the solitude of understanding the infinite possibilities between zero and one.
