Morphology
propositional = proposition (transparent) = propose + ition + al
The adjective is formed regularly from proposition with -al, and the logical/philosophical sense is still directly based on the noun's meaning.
Etymology
Propositional comes from parts that mean 'put forward' — pro- 'forth' and posit 'place', the same idea you see in propose and proposition. So a propositional statement is something 'put forward' to be checked as true or false, which is why the term is used in logic.
