Fortnight
A fortnight is a period of two weeks, equivalent to 14 days.
History/Origin
The term 'fortnight' originates from the Old English 'fēowertīene niht', meaning 'fourteen nights'. It has been used in English since the 16th century to denote a two-week interval.
Current Use
The term 'fortnight' is still used in British English and some other English-speaking regions to specify a two-week period, especially in scheduling and planning contexts.
Nanosecond
A nanosecond is a unit of time equal to one billionth of a second (10^-9 seconds).
History/Origin
The concept of the nanosecond emerged with the development of high-precision time measurement in the 20th century, particularly with advancements in electronics and computing technology that required measuring extremely short time intervals.
Current Use
Nanoseconds are used in various fields such as computing (e.g., measuring processor speeds and memory access times), telecommunications, and scientific research to quantify very short durations.
