A blend of 'chron' (time) and a Latin-derived '-carator' or '-carat' element, though the exact etymology is obscure and this may be a very rare or specialized technical term.
This word is so obscure that it might be a lost technical term from horological (clock-making) history—the kind of specialized vocabulary that craftspeople used before standardized nomenclature took over, now appearing only in old manuals.
