decade means 10 years, century refers to 100 years. Millenium refers to 1000 years.

Answer 4

The word you are looking for is 'century' which means, "one hundred (of anything)," from Latin 'centuria' which is "group of one hundred" (including a measure of land and a division of the Roman army headed by a centurion) [A centurion was the leader of a hundred men]

A "hundred years ago" is just that 100 (century) in the past.
1907 was a century ago and a century from now will be 2107.
