Morphology

esthetical = aesthetic (transparent) = aesthetic + al

Meaning is predictably formed from 'aesthetic' plus the adjectival suffix '-al', so learners who know 'aesthetic' can derive the meaning.

Etymology

Esthetical comes from the old Greek root aisthesis, meaning 'feeling' or 'sense', and you see the same root in aesthetic and aesthetics. So esthetical is about the 'sense' or feeling for beauty and good taste.
