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.

Millennium

A millennium is a unit of time equal to 1,000 years. It is often used to refer to significant periods in history, typically for marking major events or changes over a long duration.

Origin:

The term "millennium" comes from the Latin word "mille", meaning thousand, and "annus", meaning year. The concept of a millennium as a period of 1,000 years has been used for centuries, particularly in religious and historical contexts. In Christianity, the idea of a "millennium" is notably mentioned in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Revelation, where it refers to a future period of 1,000 years of peace and righteousness. Over time, the term has been adopted in secular contexts as well to mark significant epochs or to refer to the transition between two distinct periods, such as the shift from the 1st to the 2nd millennium or the turn of the 21st century. Today, the millennium is often used to highlight key historical milestones, changes in culture, or technological advancements across a thousand-year span.
