Quinquennial
A period of five years.
History/Origin
The term 'quinquennial' originates from Latin, where 'quinque' means five and 'annus' means year, and has been used since the 17th century to denote five-year intervals.
Current Use
Used primarily in planning, reporting, and events that occur every five years, such as census cycles or organizational reviews.
Shake
A shake is a unit of time equal to 1/60th of a second, used in measuring short durations.
History/Origin
The concept of the shake originated in nuclear physics and military contexts, particularly in the Manhattan Project, where it was used to denote the time it takes for light to travel 1 centimeter, approximately 3.33 nanoseconds. It was adopted as a convenient measure for very brief time intervals.
Current Use
Today, the shake is primarily used in nuclear physics and scientific research to describe extremely short time intervals, especially in nuclear reactions and particle physics. It is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts.
