Morphology

informatory = inform (semi-transparent) = inform + atory

The suffix '-atory' is not as commonly recognized as '-ative', making the derivation slightly less transparent.

Etymology

Informatory comes from the verb inform and the noun information, both meaning 'to give facts'. So something informatory is meant to provide information or tell you important facts.
