The rhythmic pulses of a heart pumping blood, or brief moments or intervals of time.
Combines 'heart' (from Old English 'heorte') and 'beat' (from Old English 'beatan'). The phrase became one compound word to describe the rhythmic sound and sensation.
Your heart beats about 100,000 times per day—over 2.5 billion times in a lifetime—and each beat pushes blood through 60,000 miles of blood vessels!
