five-minute
UK: ˈfaɪvˈmɪnɪt | US: ˈfaɪvˈmɪnɪt
adj. lasting for or relating to a period of five minutes
The term "five-minute" is a straightforward compound adjective formed by combining the cardinal number "five" (from Old English fīf, derived from Proto-Germanic fimf) and "minute" (from Latin minuta, meaning "small" or "a sixtieth part of an hour"). The hyphenated form emphasizes the unified meaning of the two components, describing a duration or attribute tied to a five-minute interval. This structure is common in English for time-related measurements (e.g., "ten-second," "two-hour").
