Morphology

syndical = syndic (semi-transparent) = syndic + al

The adjective is transparently formed with the suffix -al, but the base word 'syndic' is specialized and uncommon for many learners.

Etymology

Syndical comes from syndic, a word for an official who 'speaks for' or manages a town or group, with the basic idea of 'together'. So syndical means about the office and duties of that representative.
