Morphology
chronological = chronology (transparent) = chronology + ical
The adjective is a regular formation from the noun 'chronology' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ical', so the meaning 'in time order' is directly derived.
Etymology
Chronological comes from the root chron- meaning 'time', seen in words like chronicle and synchronize, and from the ending -logical meaning 'related to'. So, chronological describes things put in the order that they happened in 'time'.
