Morphology

promotional = promotion (transparent) = promote + ion + al

The adjective is transparently formed from 'promotion' plus '-al', and the rank-advancement meaning is directly recoverable from the base.

Etymology

Promotional comes from promote, which has the old Latin parts pro- meaning 'forward' and movere meaning 'to move'. So a promotional exam or opening is about moving someone 'forward' to a higher rank or position.
