Etymology
Kronos comes from the name of a Greek Titan and is often linked in modern stories to the idea of 'time'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of the root chron-, which means 'time' in words like 'chronology' and 'chronicle', so writers make Kronos a being who controls or changes time.
