Morphology
perceptual = perception (transparent) = percept + ual
A regular adjective formed from the noun 'perception' with the productive suffix '-ual', so the meaning 'relating to perception' is directly inferable.
Etymology
The word perceptual comes from Latin parts per- 'through' and capere 'to take', the same root you find in capture and perceive. So to perceive something is to 'take in' information through your senses, and perceptual describes that process.
