Morphology

algebraical = algebraic (transparent) = algebra + ic + al

Formed by adding a regular adjectival suffix to the familiar adjective 'algebraic', so the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Algebraical comes from algebra, which itself comes from the Arabic word al-jabr meaning 'reunion of broken parts'. So, because algebra began as a way to 'put parts back together' to find unknowns, something algebraical is simply about algebra or using algebra methods.
