illustrational

/ˌɪləstɹˈeɪʃənəl/ adj

Serving to illustrate.

Word Origin Illustrational means relating to illustration. Illustrate comes from Latin in- 'upon' and lustrare 'to make bright, illuminate' — literally 'to shine light upon.' The same root lustrare gives us illustrious (bright, famous) and translucent (light passing through). So an illustrational image shines light on a subject.
