Morphology
demonstrational = demonstration (transparent) = demonstr + ation + al
The adjective is a regular suffixal derivative of 'demonstration', so the meaning 'relating to showing how something works' is directly recoverable.
Etymology
Demonstrational comes from the Latin root monstrare, which means 'to show' and is the same root as the English word demonstrate. So a demonstrational video or booth is made to 'show' how something works.
