The adjective is formed by the regular suffix -al meaning 'relating to', added to the noun 'insurrection'.
Etymology
Insurrectional comes from Latin parts in- and surgere, which together mean 'to rise up'. Think of insurgent or surge, both showing a sudden rise, so insurrectional describes actions that 'rise up' against authority.
