minute's
Brief time's possessive
Minute's is the possessive form of minute, indicating something belongs to or is associated with a single minute.
Most often appears in time expressions: a minute's walk from here, just a minute's delay, not a minute's peace.
The possessive turns the time unit into a measure of duration or effort.
