I just wrote the word "chronology." I was advising a person who had used "chronology, chronological, chronologically," and other related words about 83 times in his 3 page paper to figure out another word to convey the "chrono" idea. Then, upon writing the word "chrono," I thought of the name "Kronos." Then, I thought about how Kronos was the Titan lord of time. Then I thought about how Chronology is relating to time.
Guess what. The word chronology comes from the Titan lord Kronos!!! I figured that out all by myself!
And, best of all, you can't imagine the rush of excitement the discovery of the etymology of that word gave me!
And I thought Kronos was the password on "The Incredibles".
