Morphology

tutorial = tutorial (semi-transparent) = tutor + ial

The word is transparently built on tutor + -ial, but the noun sense is a specialized nominal use of the adjective 'tutorial'.

Etymology

Tutorial originally meant a lesson by a tutor, a person who 'watches over' and helps a student. That's why a tutorial as a noun is a small-group or one-to-one class for focused learning.
