The idiom 'kill time' has been in use since the mid-18th century. The word 'kill' here refers to 'destroying' or 'getting rid of' the time, implying that one is making it pass unnoticed or without purpose, often due to boredom or waiting. It's a figurative use of 'kill' rather than a literal one. The concept of time being something that can be 'killed' or 'spent' is common in many languages and reflects how humans perceive and interact with the passage of time.
