In summary

Inherited from Middle French vingt, from Old French vint, from Latin vīgintī, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁wih₁ḱm̥ti, *dwi(h₁)dḱm̥ti. The Latin -g- was regularly lost in Old French, but was added back to the spelling in Middle French (now placed after the -n- in order to maintain the pronunciation).
