Morphology
meteorological = meteorology (transparent) = meteorology + ical
Formed by the clear adjective-forming suffix '-ical' added to the noun 'meteorology', so the meaning 'relating to meteorology/weather' is directly derivable.
Etymology
Meteorological comes from the Greek root meteoros, which means 'high in the air', and it is the same root as the everyday word meteor. So, meteorological is about things in the air, especially the weather and the conditions above us.
