Morphology
analytical = analytic (semi-transparent) = analyt + ic + al
The word is transparently built on the adjective 'analytic' plus -al, but the exact learner-facing meaning is somewhat specialized.
Etymology
Analytical comes from old Greek parts ana- 'up' and lysis 'loosen', which together give the idea of 'breaking up'. You can see the same root in analyze and analysis, so being analytical means you study something by breaking it into parts to understand it.
