Morphology
psychoanalytical = psychoanalytic (semi-transparent) = psycho + analytic + al
The word is clearly built from the psycho- prefix and the analytic family, but it is a specialized technical adjective rather than a fully transparent everyday formation.
Etymology
Psychoanalytical comes from the Greek words psyche 'mind' and analysis 'to break into parts' or 'to examine'. So psychoanalytical means studying the mind by looking deeply at its parts and hidden thoughts, which is why it describes the ideas and methods of Freud and similar thinkers.
