English
Noun
- A system of timekeeping in which time is decimalized.
- 2010, Jeremy Keith, HTML 5 For Web Designers, page 9:
- The French Revolution was an era of extreme political and social change. Revolutionary fervor was applied to time itself. For a brief period, the French Republic introduced a decimal time system, with each day divided into ten hours and each hour divided into one hundred minutes. It was thoroughly logical and clearly superior to the sexagesimal system.
