Century

A century is a unit of time equal to 100 years. It is commonly used to refer to a period of 100 years in history, often to describe significant cultural, historical, or societal changes over a long span of time.

Origin:

The word "century" comes from the Latin word "centuria", meaning a group of 100. The concept of dividing time into centuries has roots in the Roman system of organizing time and military units. The idea of measuring time in centuries became more formalized during the Middle Ages, as historians began to structure history into manageable periods for recording and analysis. By the time of the Gregorian calendar, the century became a standard way to refer to a 100-year span, often used to discuss developments in history, such as "the 19th century" or "the 21st century." The century is now a common unit used in various fields like history, economics, and demographics.
