Morphology
compartmental = compartment (semi-transparent) = compartment + al
The word is built regularly from 'compartment' + '-al', but the sense extends from physical compartments to more abstract division or organization.
Etymology
Compartmental comes from the idea of putting things into 'parts' or small 'rooms'; it shares the same root as the simple word part and the word compartment, both meaning a divided section. So, if something is compartmental, it is split into separate sections or groups.
