What are Fortnight and Minute

Definition of Fortnight

A fortnight is a unit of time that is equivalent to 14 days. Historically rooted in the Anglo-Saxon farming calendar, a fortnight was used to signify the passage of two weeks. The term combines the Old English words 'fēowertyne niht,' which literally mean 'fourteen nights.' Fortnights are still used today in British and Commonwealth countries as a casual way to refer to a two-week period.

Definition of Minute

A minute is a unit of time conventionally taken as one-sixtieth of an hour or sixty seconds. The term 'minute' comes from the Latin 'pars minuta prima,' which means 'first small part.' This division of the hour into 60 minutes comes from the Babylonians' sexagesimal (base-60) numbering system. Minutes are widely used across the world for telling time, measuring time intervals, and various scientific applications.
