Morphology
incarnational = incarnation (semi-transparent) = in + carn + ation + al
Adding '-al' to 'incarnation' is a standard adjective formation, but the theological sense is somewhat specialized.
Etymology
Incarnational comes from Latin parts in- ('in') and carn- ('flesh'), the same root you see in reincarnation. So something incarnational is about being 'in flesh', meaning taking on a human or physical form, which is why people use it in religious and artistic contexts.
