Three words are used in meetings which have nothing to do with time:
1. Minutes: as already explained
2. Second: if you second a motion in a meeting you support it.
3. Adjourn: if you adjourn a meeting you postpone it.

The definitiion of a meeting:
A group of the unwilling, chosen from the unfit to do the unnecessary.
