Morphology

intrinsical = intrinsic (transparent) = intrinsic + al

The form is derived by adding the adjectival suffix '-al' to the familiar adjective 'intrinsic', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word intrinsical is an old form of intrinsic, coming from Latin intra- meaning 'within', and it is like the common word internal. So something intrinsical is a quality that is 'inside' a thing and part of its true nature.
