Morphology
phenomenal = phenomenon (transparent) = phenomenon + al
This is a standard adjective derived from 'phenomenon' meaning 'relating to a phenomenon' or 'observable'.
Etymology
Phenomenal can also mean 'about things you can see or notice', and it comes from phenomenon, which means 'something that appears'. So when we talk about the phenomenal side of something, we mean the parts we can observe, not the hidden causes.
