Morphology
eternal = etern + al
Although the word ends in the productive suffix -al, the stem 'etern' is not a transparent modern English base, so ordinary learners cannot reliably derive the meaning from parts.
Etymology
Eternal comes from the Latin word aeternus, built from aevum meaning 'age' or 'a long time', so it literally suggests 'for all ages'. That's why something eternal is said to last forever and have no end.
