The root that signifies 'time' is

Explanation:
The part of a word that means time is CHRON/CHRONO. This Greek root chronos specifically denotes time, and you can see it in familiar terms like chronology (arranging events by time), chronometer (a device that measures time), and chronological order (putting things in the order of time). The other roots point to different ideas: SOLV/solu/solut means to loosen or release; UND/UNDA relates to waves or water; VER/VERA/VERI means true or truth. So CHRON/CHRONO is the one that signals a time-related meaning.
