I was naming something, a chapter or a project, and "chronomancy" was a candidate. I ended up not liking it. But I kept the etymology.
"Chronomancy" combines "chrono-" (time) and "-mancy" (divination or magic). It means predicting the future through the interpretation of time and natural cycles. The "-mancy" suffix shows up all over the place: necromancy (the dead), pyromancy (fire), bibliomancy (books). Chronomancy is one of the rarer ones, but it follows the same Greek construction.
