Chronos, Kronos, or Cronos (however you want to spell it) was, as greek mythology goes, the the Ruler of the Titans, as well as the one that fathered all of the olympian God's that eventually overthrew him. See, an oracle told him one of his kids (Zuse) would overthrow him, so he ate all of his kids when they were born.
However instead of eating Zuse his wife got him to eat a rock instead. When Zuse got older, he overthrough Chronos and made him vomit out all of his brothers and sisters (Hades, Hera, Posiden, those guys). There was a huge battle and even a Titan so big (not Chronos someone else) that he stacked two mountains on top of each other to get to Olympus and kill the Gods, but Zuse killed him with thunderbolts. Then, just like Chronos had been the Big Cheese of the Titans, Zuse became the Head of the Gods.
As far as the A part, I have no clue. I am pretty sure it isn't a word but the timeless thing would be a good guess as fare the greek root and the prefix. And any mythology buff feel free to correct me, it has been awhile :)
