Etymology: "Atemporality" is a plain formation, built from three existing parts. The prefix "a-" comes from Greek and means "without," as in "atypical" or "amoral." The core, "temporal," comes from Latin "temporalis," which derives from "tempus," meaning time. The ending "-ity" comes via French from Latin "-itas," which turns an adjective into a noun for a state or quality. So "atemporality" literally means the quality of being without time, which is exactly what the definition says.
