Morphology

organical = organic (transparent) = organ + ic + al

The adjective is a straightforward extension of 'organic' (relating to organs) with an additional adjectival suffix '-al'.

Etymology

Organical comes from the root organ, meaning 'a part of the body' or 'a tool', so it originally meant 'of the organs'. That's why organical is used to describe changes or problems that belong to the body's organs.
