A numeronym is a number based word.

Most commonly a numeronym is a word where the number is used to form an abbreviation (albeit not an acronym or an initialism), such as "K9" for "canine" (phonetically: "kay" + "nine"), "I18N" for "Internationalization", and (in French) "K7" for "cassette" (phonetically: "ka" + "sept"). Less commonly, a numeronym is composed entirely of numbers, such as "212" for "New Yorker", "411" for "information", and "911" for "help".
