Morphology

stomachal = stomach (transparent) = stomach + al

The adjective is a straightforward derivation from 'stomach' with the common suffix '-al', meaning 'relating to the stomach'.

Etymology

Stomachal is from the root stomach, which comes from a Greek word meaning 'belly' or 'throat'. So stomachal means 'relating to the stomach', which is why doctors use it for stomach pain or stomach problems.
