Morphology

natural = nature (transparent) = nature + al

The adjective is a straightforward formation from 'nature' meaning 'of or from nature'.

Etymology

Natural comes from the Latin root natura meaning 'birth' or 'the way things are', the same root as nature. So a natural thing is something that comes from the world and is not made by people.
