The cycle per second was a once-common English name for the unit of frequency now known as the hertz. The plural form was typically used, often written cycles per second, cycles/second, c.p.s., c/s, ~, or, ambiguously, just cycles. The term comes from the fact that sound waves have a frequency measurable in their number of vibrations, or cycles, per second.
A kilohertz is a SI prefixes applied unit of frequency, symbol kHz, is a multiple of the of SI prefixes (kilo) used with the hertz.
