A decade is a set or a group of ten, commonly a period of 10 years in contemporary English, or a period of 10 days in the French revolutionary calendar. The word is derived from the late Latin "decas", from Greek "dekas*, from deka.
In contemporary English, the word can be used to specify a general period of ten years, for example "The last decade was characterized by the rise of the Internet". A decade may also be a well-defined historical period of ten years in a dating system. In that sense, the first decade of the 20th century indicates a period from January 1, 1901 until December 31, 1910.

A decade is a ten year period starting with a year ending in zero and ending with a year ending in 9, so 2000 - 2009 is a decade. I think it comes from the Latin word "deca" which is ten. Think about a decathlon which consists of ten events or a decagon which has ten sides.
