How Chronological
Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a written account of events arranged in the order in which they occurred' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'chronological' (ordered by time) with 'record' (a written account). This compositional pattern is straightforward and parallels equivalent constructions in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Chronological record: The phrase comes from parts that mean chronological ('time') and record ('written note'). Picture a notebook where events are written one after another as they happen, so the phrase means a written list of events arranged 'in the order they happened'.
