Morphology

alphanumerical = alphanumeric (transparent) = alpha + numeric + al

Formed by adding the productive adjectival suffix '-al' to 'alphanumeric', a clear compound of 'alpha' (letters) and 'numeric' (numbers).

Etymology

The word alphanumerical comes from alpha and numerical, where alpha is the name of the first letter, as in alphabet, and numerical comes from number. So alphanumerical means made of both 'letters' and 'numbers'.
