ὥρας
hṓra
an hour
Basic sense: a fixed period or division of time; specifically, a particular moment or interval such as an 'hour.' The word is used to indicate a measurable unit of time, a 'season' or opportune moment, or a decisive point (a critical or appointed time for an event or action to occur). In some contexts it simply refers to 'hour,' as one of twelve divisions of the daylight in Hellenistic reckoning; in others, the sense expands to a more general term for 'time' or 'season.' Occasionally, it denotes a 'moment' of significance, a period associated with destiny, appointment, or fate.
