Etymology
The word 'chronicle' originated from the Greek word 'khronikon', meaning 'annals of time'. It entered the English language in the 14th century, borrowed from Old French 'cronique', which in turn came from Latin 'chronica', plural of 'chronicon', a Latinisation of the Greek 'khronikon'. Chronicles have been an essential part of recording historical events and stories throughout various civilizations.
