Morphology

urinary = urine (transparent) = urine + ary

Formed by the common adjectival suffix '-ary' on 'urine', meaning 'relating to urine', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Urinary comes from the old Latin word urina, which means 'urine' and is the same root as the English words urine and urinal. So, urinary means 'relating to urine' or to the organs that make and remove it.
