Morphology

geometrical = geometric (transparent) = geometric + al

Formed by adding the productive adjective-forming suffix '-al' to the clearly related adjective 'geometric', so the meaning is predictable from the base.

Etymology

Geometrical comes from Greek parts geo- 'earth' and metron 'measure', the same idea you see in geography and meter. Long ago people used geometry to measure land and shapes, so geometrical means shapes or designs you can measure and see clearly.
