Morphology
durational = duration (transparent) = dur + ation + al
The adjective is a regular formation from the noun 'duration' with '-al', so the meaning is easy to infer from the base word.
Etymology
Durational comes from the Latin root durare, which means 'to last', and is the same root as in duration and durable. So durational simply describes how long something lasts.
