Could there be an etymological connection between Latin "Cronus" (the god of time), and Latin "grano" (corn or grain)? Today, we measure time in seconds and minutes, but the in old agrarian societies there were no clocks, and the pace of time was measured by the seasonal rhythm of the crops.
According to wikipedia, the name Cronus is of uncertain origin, while grano comes from proto Indo-European.
