Morphology

dynamical = dynamic (transparent) = dynamic + al

The adjective is formed straightforwardly from 'dynamic' with the productive suffix '-al', retaining the same basic meaning in general and scientific contexts.

Etymology

The word dynamical comes from the Greek word dynamis, which means 'power' or 'force', and you can see the same root in dynamic and dynamite. So something dynamical is full of energy or moving force, whether a lively person or a system that changes in action.
