You might have been more specific by citing it in the context you're
looking at. Nevertheless, there's only one Greek NT word this could
be and that is the second declension KAIROS, KAIROU, m. meaning
"point of time, period of time." I don't recall who defined the terms
thus but someone once wrote the KAIROS ESTIN EN hWI OU POLUS CRONOS.
Often KAIROS is used in the sense of "favorable time" or "opportune
time" as when we say "the time is ripe."
