generation
A period or span of human life, typically denoting a 'generation'—the people living at a particular time, or the duration of their life-cycle. Also denotes the recurring cycle or sequence of generations in human history. Sometimes used with broader reference to the idea of an 'age' or 'epoch,' occasionally extending to mean 'posterity.' In rare cases, a sense related to 'habitation' or 'dwelling' is attested, likely derivative from the primary temporal sense.
