Morphology

locational = location (transparent) = location + al

The adjective is a straightforward derivation from 'location' with the adjective-forming suffix '-al'.

Etymology

Locational comes from the Latin word locus meaning 'place', the same root as location and locate. So locational simply means 'about a place' or 'showing a position', which is why we use it for data or factors that point to a particular place.
