To make determinations or calculations regarding time measurement or hours (a technical term rarely used in modern English).
From the Greek 'hanologia' meaning 'the science of hours' or 'time measurement,' derived from 'hora' (hour) plus 'logos' (word/reason), with the verb suffix -ate meaning 'to cause or make.'
This word belongs to a forgotten family of Greek-derived terms about timekeeping—before we had clocks on our wrists and in our pockets, scholars needed fancy words to discuss the measurement of hours!
