Morphology
transcriptional = transcription (transparent) = trans + script + ion + al
The adjective is a regular formation meaning 'relating to transcription', so the meaning follows directly from the base word.
Etymology
Transcriptional comes from trans- 'across' and script 'to write', and it is related to the common word transcribe, which means to write down what was said. So transcriptional describes the work of making a written record of spoken words.
