You can measure the weight - it is called weighing.



If you measure time; what is that called? Is there a single English word for this?



I'm thinking especially in the context of measuring the performance of something, for example, to measure the time it takes for a computer program to complete a specific task or to measure the time it takes a runner to run 100 meters.

          If you're measuring the time it takes a runner to run 100 meters, you are timing the runner, or clocking the runner.



          From Merriam-Webster dictionary:




          Clock: transitive verb 1a: to time with a stopwatch or by an electric timing device



          Time:
          transitive verb 4. to determine or record the time, duration, or rate of

          To time conveys the meaning you want:




          If you time an action or activity, you measure how long someone takes to do it or how long it lasts.



          • He timed each performance with a stop-watch.
