parliamentary = parliament (transparent) = parliament + ary
Formed by the noun 'parliament' plus the adjectival suffix '-ary', meaning 'relating to parliament', which is directly inferable.
Etymology
Parliamentary comes from parliament, from French parler meaning 'to speak'. A parliament was a 'meeting to talk', so parliamentary also describes the rules and customs used by a speaking assembly during its meetings.
