Morphology

axiomatical = axiomatic (transparent) = axiomatic + al

Formed by adding the suffix '-al' to the familiar adjective 'axiomatic', so the meaning is directly derived from axioms.

Etymology

Axiomatical comes from the simpler word axiom, which originally meant 'something accepted as true' or 'a basic truth'. So axiomatical describes ideas or systems that are built from those basic truths or clear rules.
