Babylonian cuneiform used a base 60 system. That's where we get 60 seconds in a minute, also 24 hours in a day, also 360 degrees in a circle. They created a base 60 system deliberately, because it is easy to divide. With 100 seconds you can divide a minute by 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, and that's it. Half a minute, quarter minute, fifth of a minute, tenth of a minute. Try to do a third of the minute and nasty fractions and decimals appear quickly. With 60 seconds in a minute we can divide a minute by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30 and still have a whole number of seconds. The real prize, of course, is 3. Dividing into thirds without creating fractions. I teach College mathematics. I try to be prepared when someone in my class asks "why"?

For those who wonder why the second (time unit) is called second, you first have to know that minute comes from latin "minuere" (to reduce). So the minute is the hour but in reduced form. And the second is reduced twice (i.e. reduced a second time).

Well technically the letter G is derivative from the letter C. It makes sense to pronounce second as segond because in latin the letter C was used to express the G sound (like the letter U was actually V initially and V became another sound, only that C always had the S, K and G sound) I didn't research about this word in particular, but my guess is that in latin it was also spelt with a C and pronounced with G. The french didn't change it to G for some reason; the spanish did; and the english probably copied from the french without knowing the correct pronounciation!

I think it's similar to angles and the subdivisions of degrees, as they too are divided in values different than 10. An angle can be 30° 25' 50", which is 30 degrees, 25 minutes and 50 seconds. See the resemblance? It's called seconds because it's the second subdivision, and they couldn't call it "tenths" or "hundredths" because... It isn't divided with the decimal system. You maybe have noticed that it's the same system used in coordinates, and that's because it indicates the angle you are from the Greenwich meridian and the equator, since we live on a ball :)

For people who learn french and who wants to know why "Seconde" had several spelling in the past but most of the time it was spelled Segond. But the French Academy wanted to put more rules in the grammar and the spelling. In this case, the new spelling comes from the latin word "secundus" so Segond became Seconde. They changed the G for a C but the pronounciation never changed.

Similar things happened to english. On top of it already being mainly a mix of French (by way of the Norman's), Dutch/German (by way of the Anglo-Saxon's) and local Britain Celtic with many borrowed words from Islandic, Spanish and others. So many words have pronunciations that don't fully fit the spelling plus some words have different roots so while they sound the same they are spelt different and mean different things. And so on.

something opposite happened in english with the word sovereign. It was sovereyn in the past, from latin superanus but they added the g to make it sound like 'reign', even though etymologically it has nothing to do with reign. But semantically it does (a soveregin is a ruler after all) so they added the g. It was a sort of overcorrection.

For those actually curious, the reason all three languages use a variation on "second" is that in Latin, it's called _secundus pars minuta,_ literally "second small part" (the minute, meanwhile, was the _primus pars minuta,_ or "first small part") As for why 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour, the Romans adapted their timekeeping system from the Babylonians, who counted in base 60 instead of base 10.

In most languages, spelling *changes* over time to reflect modern pronunciation. But during a big linguistic shift the French upper class freaked out and created The Academy that dictates the Right Way to speak and spell French. But you can't freeze a language in time like that or declare the "right" way to speak and just expect everyone to follow those rules, so now there's a huuuuge gap between how people actually talk and how French is spelled

For the curious, “second” is short for the phrase “second minute of an hour,” with what people normally call a “minute” being the “first minute of an hour.” The “minute” itself in these phases meaning “1/60th fraction.” Our concept of minutes and seconds was originally developed by ancient Greek astronomers, who rearranged their number system to more easily translate mathematical tables originally written in Mesopotamia, who used base 60 numbers by default. They basically kept their existing numeral system (which didn’t have any built-in numbers smaller than 1, so could only describe fractional values AS fractions, not decimals) for whole number degrees of arc (though, following Mesopotamian convention, treated a degree of arc as 1/360th of the whole circle of the heavens), but for anything smaller than a degree would enter the number into a table with a column for whole numbers, then one of first minutes denoting the count of 1/60ths, one of second minutes for 1/60ths OF 1/60ths, and of third minutes for 1/60ths of 1/60ths OF 1/60ths. Then later greek mathematicians applied the same system to dividing up the Roman hours of the day because they wanted more precise fractions but didn’t want to make up an entirely new system. And in the middle ages after mathematics got the concept of 0c people started notating them with the symbol ° to denote whole numbers (notionally, marking the end of the “zeroth” minute, and basically acting as the decimal point for this pseudo base-60 system), ’ to mark the end of the first minutes (also sometimes called the ‘primes’ from the latin word for first), ’’ to mark the end of the seconds, and ’’’ to mark the thirds.

Just to add something there, this change actually occured because earlier no. systems didn't have place value face value system, early civilisation were in trade and they shared their knowledge of mathematics with indian mathematicians, and borrowed the face value and place value systems, along with decimals and zero which caused them to change the script of mathematics into numerically and not borrowed alphabets like Roman's.

The C made the G sound long before it made the C/K sound. The G was later invented by a Roman with C in his name who didn't like people mispronouncing it in the newfangled way.

Wikipedia: “The word "minute" comes from the Latin pars minuta prima, meaning "first small part". This division of the hour can be further refined with a "second small part" (Latin: pars minuta secunda), and this is where the word "second" comes from.”

That is so bonkers. If you can just pick any random word out of the order than let's make 1/60s of "pars minuta tertia" just a 'pars', because why the hell not.

But then it wouldn‘t be minute rice, would it? I‘ve complained about the weird 60-100 difference in time intervals and length intervals, but this explanation sounds good. I won‘t complain anymore, it makes sense. 😂👍🏻

This video had English questioning 60 seconds and longer minutes. I was surprised that it wasn't French that did that. The French revolution standardised a lot. They tried 100 seconds per minute, 100 minutes per hour, 10 hours a day (100 000 seconds per day instead of the current 86 400 seconds per day). Seconds would have been about as fast. This change did not stick around, nor did the 10 month per year calender. The Babylonian 60/60/24 is still what we use. The French 100/100/10 could have been neat. Glad that the SI stuck, though. Metre, kg etc. is very good.

5*12 = 60. This used to be more logic than 10*10 because 12 is 3*4 and 6*2, it enabled farmers to share "one fourth a dozen sheep" and that is one of many examples to use this. Everyone used to think in groups of twelve because everyone sucked at math. Tbh base 12 still seems more attractive than base 10 today imo. Best is base 16 for common use: you rarely have to split in 3
