Morphology

nutritional = nutrition (transparent) = nutri + tion + al

The adjective is formed regularly from the noun 'nutrition' with the suffix '-al', so the meaning is directly recoverable from the base word.

Etymology

Nutritional comes from the Latin word nutrire, which means 'to feed', and you can see the same root in English words like nurture and nutrient. So, something nutritional gives the food and care your body needs to stay healthy and grow.
