Answer 1

Answer:

The abbreviation 'No. ' actually stands for the Latin word 'numero' which means number. The answer to your question, then, is that abbreviations are not required to stand for the English version of the word.

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{\orange{Answer}}}}}$

First of all, it is "No." not "No". The word "number" comes from numero in Latin. The actual symbol looks like 'N' followed by an underlined 'o'. That is written as 'No.'
