Morphology
asynchronous = synchronous (transparent) = a + syn + chron + ous
This sense is directly interpretable as 'not synchronous' through standard negative prefixation.
Etymology
Asynchronous comes from three simple parts: a- 'not', syn- 'together', and chron- 'time', so imagine people clapping at different moments instead of all at once. That's why asynchronous means things that do not happen at the same time or follow the same schedule.
