Morphology
The meaning 'age measured in years/months from birth' is directly derivable from combining 'chronological' (ordered by time) with 'age' (number of years since origin). This modifier + noun composition is literal and cross-linguistically common, so a learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Chronological age comes from a simple image: a clock or calendar that counts years from the day someone was born. So chronological and age together mean the 'time since birth' counted in full years and months.
