Morphology

transactional = transaction (transparent) = trans + act + ion + al

The adjective is formed regularly from 'transaction' with '-al', so its meaning 'relating to a transaction' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Transactional comes from trans- 'across' and act, seen in action, meaning 'to do'. In computing a transaction is a group of actions treated as one unit, like a shop sale where payment and delivery must both happen or nothing does, so transactional systems keep data correct by making these actions all succeed or all fail.
