Webster's 1828 Dictionary

How the English word “time” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.

TIME, noun

[Latin tempus; tempora, the falls of the head, also tempest, etc. See Tempest. time is primarily equivalent to season; to the Gr.wpa in its original sense, opportunity, occasion, a fall, an event, that which comes.]

A particular portion or part of duration, whether past, present or future.“God, who at sundry times, and in divers manners, spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets” Hebrews 1:1
A proper time; a season.“There is a time to every purpose” Ecclesiastes 3:1“The time of figs was not yet” Mark 11:13
Duration.
A space or measured portion of duration.

All definitions and other forms of “time”
