Chronological is a great word. It's one of those words that actually sounds like what it's describing and can't be replaced by any other.
In fact most 5 syllable words sound great.

Spontanaity, beneficiary, INCONCEIVABLE!!!

Juxtaposition is one of my favourite words.

Juxtaposition (literary), synonymous with contrast, two objects or texts that oppose one another.
