Where does the word "time" come from?
"Time" as a noun meaning "temporal duration" comes from Old Englishtima , meaning the same thing. The meanings "one of a number of repeated instances" and "occasion" developed later. The verb form meaning "to appoint a time" is from 1300, while the sense "to measure the time of" appears in the 1660s. There is also an adjectival form meaning "having to do with time" from around 1450. The OED lists a mere 105 different meanings for the word. An obsolete usage of the verb was "to cause to grow or mature." The first usage of the verb appears in a monastic manual for female anchoresses known as the Ancrene Riwle. Links.NightCafe Image Source
