The origin of the idiom "about time" can be traced back to the Middle English period, where the word "about" was used to mean "concerning" or "regarding." The use of "about" in this manner can be seen in expressions like "about that matter" or "about this issue." In this phrase, the emphasis is on the passage of time and the feeling of it being an appropriate or overdue moment for a particular event or action. It is commonly used in informal conversations, casual writing, and even in more formal settings.

A stopwatch is a tool used to measure time, usually for short periods. It is often used in sports and other activities to track how long something takes. A stopwatch typically has a start and stop button to begin and end the timing, and it can display time in hours, minutes, seconds, and fractions of a second. It is useful for timing races, exercises, or events that require precise measurements of time.
