Formed from the noun 'botany' with the productive adjective-forming suffix '-ical', so the meaning 'relating to plants' is directly derivable.
Etymology
Botanical comes from the simpler word botany, which in turn comes from the old Greek botanē meaning 'plant' or 'herb'. So botanical means 'relating to plants', as in a botanical garden or the study of plant life.
