Morphology
genital = genit + al
The suffix '-al' clearly means 'relating to', but the root 'genit-' is a combining form (not a standalone English word); learners who know 'genitals' or 'genitalia' will find it transparent, others will not.
Etymology
Genital comes from the old root gen-, which means 'to be born' or 'birth' and is the same root in generate and generation. So genital describes the sex organs, the body parts used for producing children.
