The word "promotional" derives from the verb "promote," which originates from the Latin promovere (pro- "forward" + movere "to move"). The suffix -ion converts the verb into a noun ("promotion"), and -al further adapts it into an adjective. Historically, "promote" referred to advancing someone's rank or cause, but by the 19th century, it expanded to commercial contexts, giving rise to "promotional" as a term for marketing efforts.
