Morphology
chronographic = chronograph (semi-transparent) = chronograph + ic
The adjective is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ic' to 'chronograph' (time-recording/representation), but the specific sense 'arranged in chronological order' is a slightly shifted/abstracted meaning that may not be obvious to all learners.
Etymology
Chronographic comes from the Greek parts chron- meaning 'time' and -graph meaning 'to write or record', the same idea you see in chronicle. Think of it as 'writing time' like a timeline that puts events in order, which is why a chronographic arrangement shows things in their time order.
