How Physiological
Surface Forms
Morphology
physiological = physiology (semi-transparent) = physiology + al
The adjective is formed regularly from the noun 'physiology' with -al, but the term is technical enough that many learners will not infer the exact sense automatically.
Etymology
Physiological comes from the Greek roots physis meaning 'nature' and logos meaning 'study', the same phys you see in physical or physics. So, physiological is about the natural functions of living things, like breathing, digestion and the heartbeat.
