The other Greek word for time is kairos, meaning the indeterminate moment that is right for something to occur.
Latinized form of the Greek ΚÏονος (Kronos), possibly derived from the Indo-European root *ker- meaning "to cut". Cronus was the Titan who fathered the Greek gods. As his wife Rhea gave birth to the gods, Cronus swallowed them fearing the prophecy that he would be overthrown by one of his children.
