Morphology
compensatory = compensate (transparent) = compensate + atory
Formed from the verb 'compensate' with the adjective-forming suffix '-atory', meaning 'serving to compensate', which is directly predictable.
Etymology
Compensatory comes from the Latin parts com- 'together' and pensare 'to weigh', the same root you find in words like pension and expense that are about payment. So something compensatory is given to 'make up' for a loss, damage, or disadvantage.
