Morphology

phenomenological = phenomenology (transparent) = phenomenon + ical

Formed by adding a standard adjectival suffix to 'phenomenology', giving an adjective meaning 'relating to phenomena' which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Phenomenological comes from phenomenon, from a Greek root that means 'to appear'. So a phenomenological approach studies what appears in experience, the real things you see or feel, instead of starting with big theories.
