Formed by the noun 'parliament' plus the adjectival suffix '-ary', meaning 'relating to parliament', which is directly inferable.
Etymology
Parliamentary comes from parliament, from the French parler meaning 'to speak'. Because a parliament is the place where members 'speak' and make laws, parliamentary means 'about or made by that law-making body'.
