Morphology
computational = computation (semi-transparent) = compute + ation + al
The word is transparently related to 'computation', but the extra derivational step and specialist academic meaning make it slightly less straightforward for many learners.
Etymology
The word computational comes from the verb compute, which comes from a Latin root meaning 'to count' or 'to think through'. Think of computer, a machine that counts and solves problems, so computational means 'relating to calculation or to using computers to solve problems'.
