Morphology
combinatorial = combinatory (semi-transparent) = combine + atory + al
The word is built on the recognizable base 'combinatory', but the mathematical and logical sense is somewhat specialized.
Etymology
The word combinatorial comes from the simpler words combine and combination, which mean 'put together', and from the part com- that means 'together'. So combinatorial talks about putting things together or arranging them in many possible ways, which is why we use it for combinations and arrangements in maths and logic.
