About This Root

From Greek chronos (time). Shapes time-related vocabulary — chronic (lasting a long time), chronicle (a time-ordered record), chronological (in time order), and synchronize (to make happen at the same time). The syn- prefix in synchronize means 'together', creating 'same time'. Anachronism (ana- + chronos) means 'against time' — something out of its era.
