Morphology
transactional = transaction (transparent) = trans + act + ion + al
The adjective is formed regularly from 'transaction' with '-al', so its meaning 'relating to transactions' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Transactional comes from trans- 'across' and act, seen in action, meaning 'to do'. A transaction is a deal or exchange, so calling a relationship or approach transactional means it is based on practical give-and-take or quick deals rather than on personal feeling.
