Chronology was coined as a word in 1593, from Gk. khrono- comb. form of khronos "time" + -logy comb. form of logos "word."
It means:
1. an arrangement of events in time
2. a record of events in the order of their occurrence
3. the determination of the actual temporal sequence of past events

Chronos is the Greek god associated with time, and logos is the root word for the study of. The term later became associated with studying things or putting them in order by time index.
