One (pronoun)
''One'' is a pronoun in the English language. It is a gender-neutral, indefinite pronoun, meaning roughly "a person". For purposes of verb agreement it is a third-person singular pronoun, although it is sometimes used with first- or second-person reference. It is sometimes called an impersonal pronoun. It is more or less equivalent to the French pronoun ''on'', the German ''man'', and the Spanish ''uno''. It has the possessive form ''one's'' and the reflexive form ''oneself''.
The pronoun ''one'' has quite formal connotations (particularly in American English〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/one.htm )〕), and is often avoided in favor of more colloquial alternatives such as generic ''you''.
The word ''one'' as a numeral can also be put to use as a pronoun, as in ''one was clean and the other was dirty'', and it can also be used as a prop-word, forming pronominal phrases with other determiners, as in ''the one'', ''this one'', ''my one'', etc. This article, however, concerns the use of ''one'' as an indefinite pronoun as described in the preceding paragraphs.
==Etymology==
''One'' may have come into use as an imitation of French ''on''.〔"One", entry in ''The Oxford English Dictionary'', second edition, edited by John Simpson and Edmund Weiner, Clarendon Press, 1989, twenty volumes, hardcover, ISBN 0-19-861186-2.〕 French ''on'' derives from Latin ''homo'', nominative singular for ''human'', through Old French ''hom()''. It is distinct from the French word for the numeral one, ''un(e)''.
