Chronology (pronunciation: kruh-nol-uh-jee) is a term derived from the Greek words "chronos" (time) and "logos" (study), and it refers to the science of arranging events in their order of occurrence in time.

Etymology

The term "Chronology" is derived from two Greek words: "chronos" (χρόνος), which means time, and "logos" (λόγος), which means study. Thus, chronology is the study of time.
