Morphology
luteal = lute + al
The word is formed with the adjectival suffix -al, but the base element is a classical form not transparent to most English learners.
Etymology
Luteal comes from the Latin luteus, which means 'yellow', because the corpus luteum is a short-lived 'yellow body' in the ovary. So luteal describes things related to that yellow body or to the later stage of the menstrual cycle after ovulation.
