Morphology

accreditable = accredit (transparent) = accredit + able

The word is transparently formed by adding the suffix '-able' to 'accredit', indicating the capability of being accredited.

Etymology

Accreditable comes from the idea of giving credit, which goes back to the Latin credere meaning 'to believe' or 'trust'. So an accreditable institution is one authorities can 'trust' and officially accept.
