Morphology

submittal = submit (transparent) = submit + al

Formed from the verb 'submit' with the noun-forming suffix '-al'; the meaning 'act or thing submitted' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Submittal comes from the verb submit, which breaks into sub- 'under' and mit 'send', the same root you see in transmit and permit. So a submittal is something you 'send' to a person or group for approval or review.
