Number of wave oscillations per second = frequency; it is measured in Hertz (Hz); you may refer it at Wikipedia; all the best

Frequency is the total number of cycles of a wave in a second. The unit is cycle per second and is named as Hertz in honor of a scientist. KiloHertz means a thousand cycles per sec and MegaHertz means a million cycles per second.
Wavelength, frequency and velocity are related by the formula
v = f . lambda where v is the velocity, f the frequency and lambda (greek l) is wavelength.

It's the number of waves that passes one point in one second.

frequency come from the word frequents. in your case how frequent the was completes a cycle
