Morphology

immunological = immunology (transparent) = immuno + log + ical

The word 'immunological' is transparently derived from 'immunology' with the suffix '-ical' indicating a relation to the study of the immune system.

Etymology

Immunological comes from immune, which in turn comes from the Latin immunis meaning 'exempt' or 'free', and you can see the same idea in the common word immunity. So, immunological is about how the body protects itself and stays 'free' from disease.
