Morphology

arbitrational = arbitration (transparent) = arbitrat + ion + al

The adjective is formed in the regular way from 'arbitration' plus '-al', so its meaning is directly recoverable from the base word.

Etymology

The word arbitrational comes from the Latin arbiter, which means 'judge' or 'decider', and the same idea is in arbitrate and arbitrator. So arbitrational describes something about deciding a disagreement by a neutral third person instead of going to court.
