Morphology

paralytical = paralysis (transparent) = paralysis + ical

Formed from the noun 'paralysis' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ical' to mean 'relating to paralysis'.

Etymology

Paralytical comes from Greek parts para- meaning 'beside' and -lysis meaning 'loosening', the same root as paralysis and paralyze. So, think of muscles 'loosened' or stopped from moving. Paralytical describes something relating to that loss of movement.
