Cycles. I suppose you might say it’s a derivative.

How many times per second the measurement returns to the original value.

In engineering school we used to tie this directly to radians using the Euler notation pow(e, j * 2 * pi * f) where 2pif is your angular frequency expressed in radians per second!
