Demisesquicentennial or Hemisesquicentennialis are other similar variants.100 yearsCentennialCentenary / platinum jubilee125 yearsQuasquicentennialTerm is broken down as quasqui- (and a quarter) centennial (100 years). Quasqui is a contraction from quadrans "a quarter" plus the clitic conjunction -que "and". The term was coined by Funk and Wagnalls editor Robert L. Chapman in 1961.[2]150 yearsSesquicentennialTerm broken down as sesqui- (one and a half) centennial (100 years)175 yearsDodransbicentennial-Dodrans is a Latin contraction of de-quadrans which means "a whole unit less a quarter" (de means "from"; quadrans means "quarter". 175 years is a quarter century less than the next whole (bi)century or 175 = (-25 + 200).[1]DodrabicentennialAlternative Latin form of DodransbicentennialDequasbicentennialAlternative Latin form of DodransbicentennialDosquicentennialDosquicentennial has been used in modern times[3] and this is perhaps a modern contraction of "de-quadrans". However, it seems inappropriate to combine the terms que and de when dealing with such Roman fractions. In any event, if such a conjunction was appropriate then it would perhaps more likely have been "Dosquibicentennial" (but the result is little shorter anyway).[1]DemisemiseptcentennialProbably[attribution needed] a modern coined term: demisemiseptcentennial; literally one-half (demi-) x one-half (semi-) x seven (sept-) x 100 years (centennial)-also demisemiseptcentenary.[4][5]QuartoseptcentennialProbably[attribution needed] a modern coined term: quartoseptcentennial; literally one-quarter (quarto-) x seven (sept-) x 100 years (centennial)-also quartoseptcentenary.[6]TerquasquicentennialFirst used by Bell Laboratories in celebrating its 175th anniversary as a corporation.[citation needed] Is a coined word for an anniversary of 175 years, but the elements of the word literally refer to an anniversary of 375 years, as follows: ter- (3) × quasqui- (1¼) × centennial (100 years)Septaquintaquinque-

centennialSuggested by lexicographer Robert L. Chapman to William Safire; first appeared in Safire's column, "On Language" (The New York Times Magazine, February 12, 1995). It is a coined word for an anniversary of 175 years, but the elements of the word literally refer to an anniversary of 35,000 years, as follows: septaquinta- (70) × quinque- (5) × centennial (100 years)200 yearsBicentennial250 yearsSestercentennial-To express 2½ in Latin it would be expressed as "half-three". The term relates to being halfway [from the second] to the third integer. In Latin this is "Sestertius" which is a contraction of semis (halfway) tertius (third) - hence Sestercentennial.[1]SemiquincentennialProbably[attribution needed] a modern coined term: semi- (half) × quin (5) × centennial (100 years) = 250 yearsBicenquinquagenaryUsed by Princeton University in 1996, Reading, Pennsylvania in 1998, and Washington and Lee University in 1999.[7] It is a coined word for an anniversary of 250 years, but the elements of the word literally refer to an anniversary of 10,000 years, as follows: bi- (2) × cen(t)- (100) × quinquagenary (50 years)Quarter-millennialMeaning one fourth of one thousand years.[8]300 yearsTercentennialTricentennial350 yearsSesquarcentennial-A modern coined term; sesquarcentennial for 350 years is deduced here from the "Sestertius" definition for 250 years above. For 350 years it relates to being halfway from the third to the fourth integer; thus a contraction of semis (halfway) and quartus(fourth); hence Sesquarcentennial.SemiseptcentennialProbably[attribution needed] a modern coined term: semi- (half) × sept(7) × cen(t)- (100) × centennial (350 years)400 yearsQuadricentennialQuatercentenary500 yearsQuincentennial600 yearsSexcentennial700 yearsSeptcentennialSeptuacentennialProbably[attribution needed] a coined term; earliest known use in March 1988.[9] Chiang Mai Septcentennial Stadium (Chiang Mai, Thailand) was completed in 1991.[10]800 yearsOctocentennial900 yearsNonacentennial1000 yearsMillennial2000 yearsBimillennial
