quintant

Pronunciation: /ˈkwɪn.tənt/ Definition: 1. The cardinal number symbol: 15. 2. A group, set, or series of fifteen humans or entities: a triple quint or standard quarter-hour. 3. A temporal unit representing fifteen minutes or a quarter of an hour. 4. Denoting a structure or increment based on fifteen parts, such as a rugby squad (equipe) or a significant percentage point. Significance: • It defines the quantity fifteen with systematic regularity and clarity. • It emphasizes quarter-hour units, rugby union squads, and three-by-five groupings. • It identifies minutes in a quarter-hour, players on a rugby squad (equipe), and any standardized fifteen-unit set. • It avoids irregular and ambiguous pronunciations associated with Germanic numeric forms. • It simplifies expressions of time, sports squad (equipe) sizes, and quintile divisions. • It improves precision in descriptions of temporal increments, athletic compositions, and proportional segments. • It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "fifteen" with a consistent Latinized cardinal form.
