Morphology
deliberative = deliberate (semi-transparent) = deliberate + ive
Formed from 'deliberate' + '-ive' and clearly relates to the act of deliberating, but the adjective often emphasizes a formal or procedural sense (process/characteristic) which is slightly different from the basic verb meaning.
Etymology
Deliberative comes from Latin parts de- and libra, where libra means 'scales' or 'balance' and is the same root as the star sign Libra, giving the idea of 'weighing' choices. So, a deliberative group is one that 'weighs' options carefully by talking and thinking before it decides.
