N \N\ ([e^]n),
the fourteenth letter of English alphabet, is a vocal
consonent, and, in allusion to its mode of formation, is
called the dentinasal or linguanasal consonent. Its commoner
sound is that heard in ran, done; but when immediately
followed in the same word by the sound of g hard or k (as in
single, sink, conquer), it usually represents the same sound
as the digraph ng in sing, bring, etc. This is a simple but
related sound, and is called the gutturo-nasal consonent. See
Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 243-246.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The letter N came into English through the Latin and
Greek from the Phoenician, which probably derived it
from the Egyptian as the ultimate origin. It is
etymologically most closely related to M. See M.

N
/N/, quant.
1. A large and indeterminate number of objects: ?There were N bugs in that
crock!? Also used in its original sense of a variable name: ?This crock has
N bugs, as N goes to infinity.? (The true number of bugs is always at least
N + 1; see Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology.)
2. A variable whose value is inherited from the current context. For
example, when a meal is being ordered at a restaurant, N may be understood
to mean however many people there are at the table. From the remark ?We'd
like to order N wonton soups and a family dinner for N - 1? you can deduce
that one person at the table wants to eat only soup, even though you don't
know how many people there are (see great-wall).
3. Nth: adj. The ordinal counterpart of N, senses 1 and 2.
4. ?Now for the Nth and last time...? In the specific context ?Nth-year
grad student?, N is generally assumed to be at least 4, and is usually 5 or
more (see tenured graduate student). See also random numbers,
two-to-the-N.

7. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
N
A variable typically used
to stand for a number of objects.
Used unqualified in speech it suggests a large, undetermined
number, e.g. "There were N bugs in that crock!", or a
number implied by context, e.g. "Let's get pizza for N + 1".
