Time is very difficult to define without using the word "time". I see it as an arbitrary number assigned to describe the change in something from some instant to an instant that occurs sequentially after something else. So, take a banana and un-peel it. It will change from off-white to brown during the period of the initial instant it was opened and when it becomes brown. The interval between instances, or when it changes color, is the passage of "time". Then it is just a matter of assigning a value, or unit of passage, to be able to quantify how long it takes for an event to occur. It would have begun with larger intervals like how many times the sun came up or went down, and then evolved from there as to how to differentiate occurrences that did not take a full "day".
