From the word’s history

From Old English hundred, from Proto-Germanic *hundą 'hundred' + *radą 'count'.

源自古英文 hundred,由「百」加「計數」兩部分組成。

Wiktionary

The exact number 100 — a full, round, satisfying quantity; ten tens.

可以想成「一百」這個整整齊齊的數字:十個十湊成一堆,是個又圓又滿的數量。它給人的感覺不只是個冷冰冰的數字,而是「一大堆、夠多了、滿了」的那種飽足感。後面其他用法,幾乎都是從這個「滿滿一百」的畫面延伸出去的——有時是真的數到一百,有時只是借它來表達「多」或「完整」。
