Morphology

acceptive = accept (transparent) = accept + ive

Formed by the verb 'accept' plus the adjectival suffix '-ive', yielding the expected meaning 'inclined to accept', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word acceptive comes from Latin parts that mean 'to take in'. The root capere means 'to take', which you can see in capture, and the part accept means 'to receive', so acceptive is someone or something ready and willing to 'take in' new ideas.
