The KJV renders 14 different Hebrew and Greek words as “time”
What it means
day, i.e. (literally) the time space between dawn and dark, or the whole 24 hours (but several days were usually reckoned by the Jews as inclusive of the parts of both extremes); figuratively, a period (always defined more or less clearly by the context)
feminine (with G5610 (ὥρα) implied) of a derivative of (to sit; akin to the base of G1476 (ἑδραῖος)) meaning tame, i.e. gentle;
How the KJV renders it
age, midday by day, judgment, time, while, years
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
