millennial
/mɪˈlɛniəl/
nounadjectivemil · len · ni · al
Think: **mill** (a thousand) + **enni** (sounds like “any”) + **al** — a *millennial* is tied to a **mill** (thousand) years or the generation name.
Yes, it's millennial. Watch the double **l** in **mill-** and the **-ennial** ending: **mill + ennial** (not *-enial*).
