As a noun, a chronicle is a historical and factual record of events.

This time I'm tempted to chronicle @Myr's postings of "Word of the day" based on chronos.  :)

The word chronicle comes to Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French cronicle, variant of Old French cronique, via Latin from Greek khronika ‘annals of  time’, from khronikos (see chronic).  Events are usually chronicled in the order in which they occurred. The noun chronicle is a record of things that happened — told in chronological order, like the diary you kept in elementary school. 

The earliest known use of the noun chronicle is in the Middle English period (1150—1500). OED's earliest evidence for chronicle is from 1303, in the writing of Robert Mannyng, poet and historian. 

The Books of Chronicles are two books in the Christian Old Testament that are an account of Israel's history: 
1 Chronicles: The thirteenth book in the Old Testament, which follows 2 Kings  2 Chronicles: Follows 1 Chronicles  

The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of several portal fantasy novels by the British author C.S. Lewis.
