minutes
Sixty-second time spans
Minutes are units of time equal to sixty seconds.
A meeting's minutes are the official written record of what was discussed and decided: Who's taking minutes?
To minute something is to record it officially.
Something done to the minute happens at exactly the scheduled time.
A minute amount is tiny, but that sense belongs to the singular form pronounced with stress on the second syllable.
