Morphology
transferral = transfer (transparent) = trans + fer + al
The noun is transparently formed from the verb 'transfer' plus the nominal suffix '-al', with only minor spelling adjustment.
Etymology
Transferral comes from the parts trans- ('across') and fer ('to carry'), the same root you see in transfer. So a transferral is literally an act of 'carrying across' — moving something or someone from one place, position, or person to another.
