Morphology
nasal = nose (semi-transparent) = nas + al
The sense is readily connected to 'nose', but the spelling reflects the classical root 'nas-' rather than an obvious native English base.
Etymology
Nasal comes from the Latin root nasus, meaning 'nose'. So nasal simply means 'relating to the nose', as in nasal congestion.
