Also cool: If you're wondering why we didn't divide the hour up into 360 parts like we did with the circle, well we sort of did, since 3600 seconds in an hour means seconds are a tenth of an "hour's degree". So the minute hand of a clock goes round one degree every ten seconds.

Great job explaining seconds in less than one first!

"What should we call the first subdivision of the hour?"
"First division"
"Okay, what about the second?"
"Second division."

Eh, good enough."

In italian, for example during sport events etc, to say that a lap took "1 minute and 20 seconds" you can use the words "Un minuto e 20 secondi" but also "Un primo e 20 secondi", where primo = first in Italian

Going to start calling minutes “firsts” or maybe “primes”

I second that message.

I think I knew the second/second link before, but I never knew until now that minute (time) and minute (small) came from the same place

Finally Steve made a video right up my alley. I love all his science stuff, but I was an English major in college and I really love learning the origins of words and how languages fit together and change over time.

Genuinely thank you so much for this. One of those things I've been puzzled by my entire life, yet never in the right moment to look it up. I legitimately feel so much more at peace now.

I know it's a short, but you could've mentioned that there were also partes minutae tertiae, i.e. 1/60 of 1/60 of 1/60 of an hour, which remained in some use until we decided to decimalize seconds alongside the metric system, or that all of this terminology is shared with the 360° sky in astronomy, which it was originally coined for, not clocks.

And “second” etymologically comes from the word meaning “to follow” or “following”. We still see it in Romance languages such as Spanish where the word “segunda” (“second”) is literally translated as “seguir”+”-unda” (lit. “To follow”+”-ing”).

That's also why you can sometimes see them written as ' and ", as in 2'32", just like the angle subdivisions.

In Italian you can still call them "minuto primo" and "minuto secondo", if you want to sound pedant (but commonly just "minuto" and "secondo").

In German we also use minutes and seconds for the smaller units in a graticule (I hope that's the correct term). For example for coordinates: 50° (Grad/degrees) 21' (Minuten/minutes) and 12'' (Sekunden/seconds) north and (...) south. What are those units called in English? Also minutes and seconds?
Actually it's the same for measuring angles too, right?

For measuring fractions of angles is still used the first: 34º 56' 78"

In fact it's also how it is written. Technically speaking in angle measurement 1 minute is 1' or 1/60 degrees , while 1 second is 1" or 1/60 minutes pronounced, in fact, 1 minute and 1 second respectively
