Etymology

The French noun **seconde** comes from the Latin *seconda*, the feminine form of *secondus* meaning “second, following”. *Secondus* is derived from *secus* (“after, in order”), which in turn comes from *sequi* (“to follow”). The word entered Middle French in the 14th century, originally denoting the second part of something, and later specialized to the second division of time.
