Word for groups of periods of time
I am looking for a word which would apply to the groupings of periods of time, for example:
Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, Annually etc
For example, "this task happens daily" where daily is ... the periodicity?
Solution 1:
You may use frequency:
- The number of complete cycles of a periodic process occurring per unit time.(AHD)
- daily frequency, monthly frequency etc.
Solution 2:
I recently started seeing 'cadence' used for this meaning.
noun, Also, cadency
3 - the beat, rate, or measure of any rhythmic movement: The chorus line danced in rapid cadence.

For example "The cadence of that meeting is fortnightly"...
But I only saw this for the first time a year or so ago, and not often since (though subjectively more and more as time goes on)
