"Saeculum" is a term that originates from Latin, meaning "age" or "generation." In historical and sociological contexts, it can refer to a period of time characterized by specific cultural, social, or political trends. In sociology, particularly in the works of the historian and cultural sociologist William Strauss and the political scientist Neil Howe, "saeculum" is used to describe a cycle of generations that lasts approximately 80 to 100 years.
