Morphology

revisional = revision (transparent) = revise + ion + al

The adjective is a regular and predictable formation from 'revision' plus '-al', so the meaning 'relating to revision' is easy to infer.

Etymology

The word revisional comes from the verb revise, made from re- 'again' and the same root as vision 'see'. So a revisional action is a 'look again' to make changes, which is why a revisional procedure or change fixes something done earlier.
