Morphology

incisional = incision (transparent) = incise + ion + al

The adjective is formed regularly from 'incision' with '-al', so the meaning 'relating to an incision' is directly recoverable.

Etymology

Incisional comes from the parts in- 'into' and -cision 'cut', the same idea you see in incision. So incisional means 'about a cut', and in medicine it refers to a surgical cut or wound.
