Morphology

coalitional = coalition (transparent) = coalition + al

The adjective is a regular formation meaning 'relating to a coalition' by adding the productive suffix '-al' to the noun 'coalition'.

Etymology

The word coalitional comes from coalition, which includes the part co- meaning 'together' and a root that once meant 'grow together', so it gives the picture of people or parties 'growing together' into one group. So, something coalitional is about groups joining or working together.
