centurial
adjective
语源
- late Middle English (in sense 3): from Latin centuria, from centum 'hundred'. Sense 1 dates from the early 17th cent
- 1 Strictly speaking, centuries run from 01 to 100, meaning that the new century begins on the first day of the year 01 (i.e. 1 January 1901, 1 January 2001, etc.). In practice and in popular perception, however, the new century is held to begin when the significant digits in the date change, i.e. on 1 January 2000, when 1999 becomes 2000.
- 2 Since the 1st century ran from the year 1 to the year 100, the ordinal number (i.e. second, third, fourth, etc.) used to denote the century will always be one digit higher than the corresponding cardinal digit(s). Thus, 1066 is a date in the 11th century, 1542 is a date in the 16th century, and so on
