Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin sexennis , -ate suffix¹.

Etymology: < sexennis after an interval of six years (see sexennary adj.) + -ate suffix¹, after septennate n. Compare earlier sexennium n.There is apparently no equivalent term in German. The 1898 law incorporating a six-year plan to build a fleet is usually referred to in German historiography as Flottengesetz or erstes Flottengesetz, literally ‘(first) fleet law’.

German History
