In Coordinated Universal Time, a negative or positive leap second may be incorporated to keep the hour within 0.9 seconds of universal time, making an hour either 3,599 or 3,601 seconds in some cases.
History/origin: The term "hour" is derived from the Anglo-Norman "houre," which was in use around the 13th century.
