A score is a group of 20. For example, when Lincoln said, "Four score and seven years ago..." He was saying 87 years ago. It is a mesurement that dates back to medival times when the peasants didn't have more than basic math skills and everything was dealt with in even numbers which had names given to them.

There are 20 things in a score.
The famous phrase "Four score and seven years ago",
means 4*20 +7 or 87 years ago.

20 (twenty) is the natural number following 19 and preceding 21. A group of twenty units is often referred to as a score.
