Morphology

seraphical = seraphic (transparent) = seraph + ic + al

Etymology

The word seraphical comes from seraph, a high kind of angel whose name comes from an old Hebrew word meaning 'to burn'. So, to call something seraphical is to say it is angel-like, pure, or shining with a bright, holy light.
