Morphology

accreditable = accredit (semi-transparent) = accredit + able

Formally the word is 'accredit' + '-able', but the sense 'deserving praise' aligns more with 'creditable' (moral praise) than the official-recognition sense, so learners may be misled.

Etymology

Accreditable comes from credit and the Latin credere meaning 'to believe' or 'trust'. So when a person or action is accreditable, they 'deserve credit' or praise for being respectable.
