quarterlong

Quarterlong is a term that has emerged in informal contexts to describe a period of time equal to one quarter of a year. A year is typically divided into four quarters, each lasting approximately three months. Therefore, a quarterlong period is roughly equivalent to 90 to 92 days, depending on the specific months involved. This unit of time is often used in discussions related to business cycles, academic semesters, or casual scheduling. While not a formal or universally recognized unit like a month or a year, quarterlong serves as a convenient shorthand for expressing these recurring, three-month intervals. It is frequently encountered in discussions about project timelines, financial reporting periods, or the duration of various commitments. The concept is inherently tied to the standard division of the Gregorian calendar year.
