Word Request: 100 Days

[OddCinema]

Hello to you all,

I'm on the hunt for a word which may (or may not) exist and I was
hoping that someone with more expertise than I could help.

If a centennial is for one hundred years, what would be one hundred
days? The closest I've come to is "centiduumal", but this is using a
very loose (and rather dusty) grasp of Latin. Any help or advice would
be appreciated.

Many thanks
Barrington

There is the word circadian so maybe centidian or maybe centidial??
Browse around this part of the OED.

. . . or, if you don't have ready access to the OED, then the Century
Dictionary:
http://www.global-language.com/CENTURY/

Alas, I can find no trace of centidian or centidial in either.

Another candidate could be "centidiurnal" but, by analogy with "tridiurnal",
this might have any of the following meanings:
Comprising 100 days
Lasting 100 days
Occurring or appearing every 100 days
Occurring 100 times per day

A 1918 publication has "centidiurnal" in its title:

On the basis of biduum, triduum: perhaps centiduum.

I think this is normal, i.e. to use casus rectus for all numbers up to
and including mille nongenti nonaginta novem dies but duo millia dierum.
If I remember right. Google finds 5 for ducenti dies 0 for ducenti dierum.

Yes, quite. The ones with "centum dierum" that I've looked at have it in
apposition to a noun; such as Aquinas' "indulgentia centum dierum".
Quid ergo significatur per Indulgentiam centum dierum ?

And then there's the Centum Napoleonis dies;

And then what about Anne Boleyn? Anne of a thousand days. Anna mille
dierum. I guess it was better than being Anna centum dierum.
