Morphology
endocrinological = endocrinology (transparent) = endocrinology + ical
Formed from the noun 'endocrinology' with the regular adjectival suffix '-ical' (orthographic adjustment from '-y' to '-ical'), so the meaning 'relating to endocrinology or hormones' is directly predictable.
Etymology
Endocrinological breaks into Greek parts endo- meaning 'inside' and -crine meaning 'to send out', plus -logical meaning 'study'. So endocrinological is about the glands 'inside' the body that 'send out' hormones and the study of those hormones.
