The KJV renders 14 different Hebrew and Greek words as “time”

What it means

a space of time (in general, and thus properly distinguished from G2540 (καιρός), which designates a fixed or special occasion; and from G165 (αἰών), which denotes a particular period) or interval; by extension, an individual opportunity; by implication, delay

of uncertain derivation;

How the KJV renders it

season, space, time, while

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
