The keyword os is part of the usable function os.time() on Roblox. Os is part of the Operating System Library of Lua. However for security reasons the only available function of the Library is os.time() which is more commonly recommended function over tick().

Actually tick() is more commonly used because it returns the client's time*. os.time() returns some random server's time*. *time refers to seconds since epoch (Jan 1st, 1970).
