The adjective is formed regularly from the noun 'gestation' with the suffix '-al', so its meaning is directly inferable.
Etymology
The word gestational comes from the old Latin root gest- meaning 'to carry'. It refers to the time someone 'carries' a baby in the womb, so gestational means 'relating to pregnancy'.
