Morphology
regimentals = regimental (transparent) = regiment + al + s
Formed from 'regiment' + '-al' to make 'regimental' (relating to a regiment), with a final plural '-s' producing 'regimentals' (the regimental items); the relationship is directly inferable.
Etymology
The word regimentals comes from regiment, which means 'a group of soldiers', and from the older word regimen meaning 'rule' or 'direction'. Think of regimentals as the regiment's uniform and badges, like a team's kit that shows who you belong to and your rank.
