Centennials

/sɛnˈtɛniəlz/ noun

Definition

Plural form; multiple 100-year anniversaries or multiple people/things relating to 100-year periods.

Etymology

English plural of 'centennial,' from Latin 'centennium' (period of 100 years) + '-ial' (relating to) + '-s' (plural marker).

Kelly Says

Marketers have begun talking about generational 'centennials' to describe every 100-year cohort of people, but the term hasn't caught on because 100 years is too long for people to actually share a common culture or experience.
