five
Digits per hand
Five is the number between four and six, represented by the numeral 5.
It's the number of fingers on a human hand, which is why a high five involves slapping palms.
Give me five requests either that gesture or five dollars.
In basketball, a team's starting five are its first-string players.
Take five means take a short break—originally five minutes.
