Morphology

spacial = space (transparent) = space + ial

The adjective is transparently formed from the noun 'space' with the adjective-forming suffix '-ial', so the meaning 'relating to space' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Spacial comes from the Latin root spatium meaning 'space' and is like the common English words space and spacious. So spacial simply means 'about space' or how things are placed in an area.
