Morphology

acceptant = accept (transparent) = accept + ant

Formed from the verb 'accept' with the standard adjectival suffix '-ant', so the meaning 'willing to accept' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Acceptant comes from accept, which has Latin parts ad- 'to' and capere 'take', and the same root is also in capture. So being acceptant is like being 'willing to take' or ready to receive new ideas and experiences.
