Pronunciation: /ˌsɛks.toʊˈdɛ.koʊ/ Definition: 1.	The cardinal number symbol: 60. 2.	A group, set, or series of sixty humans or entities: a sexagenary unit. 3.	The foundational unit for minutes and seconds, and a traditional basis for time and angular measurement. 4.	Denoting a structure or system based on sixty components, such as seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour, or degrees in a triangle.

Significance: • It defines the quantity sixty with systematic regularity and clarity. • It emphasizes sexagesimal systems, timekeeping, and angular geometry. • It identifies seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour, and the traditional number of seconds in a minute. • It avoids irregular and ambiguous pronunciations associated with Germanic numeric forms. • It simplifies expressions of time units, geometric angles, and base-60 numerical systems. • It improves precision in descriptions of chronology, navigation, and mathematical bases. • It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "sixty" with a consistent Latinized cardinal form. Cardinal number: sextodeco (60) Ordinal number: sextodecal (60th) Adjective: sextodecal
