Relating to or connected with time; of or pertaining to time and its measurement.
Formed from 'chron' plus the suffix '-al' (meaning 'of or relating to'), following the standard English pattern for adjective formation. This is a more formal or technical variant of 'temporal.'
Science fiction authors love this word because it lets them talk about 'chronal anomalies' and 'chronal loops,' making time feel like a tangible dimension you can manipulate—much like how H.G. Wells imagined it in 'The Time Machine.'
