chrono

Before graph, logical

Chrono is a combining form meaning time, appearing in words like chronology, chronometer, and chronic.

On its own, chrono functions as informal shorthand for a chronograph—a watch or device that measures elapsed time: I started the chrono when the race began.

In gaming and sports, chrono often refers to timing runs or speedrun attempts.
