Morphology
enunciatory = enunciate + enunciation (transparent) = enunciate + atory
The adjective is a straightforward derivation from the lexical base (enunciate/enunciation) with a standard adjective-forming suffix meaning 'relating to the act of enunciating'.
Etymology
The word enunciatory comes from the Latin verb enuntiare, which meant 'to announce' or 'report', and is related to the common words announce and pronounce. So, enunciatory means saying or stating words clearly, which is why we use it for speech that is easy to hear and understand.
