"combinatorial" was used predominantly in 1970s books for whatever reason.

In most of contemporary books and university courses "combinational" is used and with a note that you should not confuse it with "combinatorics" and "combinatory logic"

“An alternate term is combinatorial logic,[2] though this usage may be considered controversial.[3]”:
