Morphology

versional = version (semi-transparent) = version + al

The form is regular, but this sense depends on the technical noun 'version' meaning a turning movement, not on the common everyday sense 'edition'.

Etymology

Versional comes from the root vers meaning 'to turn', the same root in common words like reverse. So when used for the eyes, versional describes the 'turning' movements they make together.
