In modern Greek we also use a lot of composite words with the word "καιρός" in them, so all that is actually still "alive" in these. For example, we translate "opportunity" as "ευκαιρία", which is a female noun. Then there is the more negatively loaded male noun "καιροσκόπος" for the word "opportunist". Or "πολυκαιρισμένος" for "timeworn", the adjective "καίριος" for "well-timed" or "crucial" depending on context, and more.
The same holds for other "loaded" ancient Greek words.
