Morphology

accessional = accession (semi-transparent) = access + ion + al

The word is regularly formed from the noun 'accession' plus adjectival '-al', but 'accession' is somewhat specialized, so the meaning is only partly obvious.

Etymology

The word accessional comes from accession, which originally meant 'a coming to' or 'an addition', from Latin parts ad- 'to' and cedere 'go'. So, something accessional is connected with being added or with a new arrival to a position.
