Etymology

Borrowed from Spanish once, from Old Spanish onze, ondze, from Latin ūndecim. According to Zorc (1993), the colloquial sense is said to be related to the double line visuals of the written number 11, possibly about double-dealing. The sense can also be possibly about having a one up (an advantage) above a common arbitrary number 10. See also maisahan (to be able to get one-upped).
