Fun fact: Seconds are called seconds because the first breakdown of an hour is the minute, and the second breakdown is the second. Don't ask me the obvious question(s) because I don't know.

If by obvious question you mean “why is it called a minute,” that is because “minute” means “small.” So you have the first minute (small) part and the second minute part of the hour.
