time of day
Morning or evening
Time of day identifies a particular point or period within the daily cycle—morning, afternoon, evening, or a specific hour: What time of day works best for you?
The phrase also appears in social acknowledgment: to give someone the time of day is to pay them basic attention or courtesy, usually in the negative: She wouldn't give him the time of day.
