Morphology

actionable = action (transparent) = action + able

Direct derivation from 'action' + '-able' meaning 'capable of being acted on', which matches the ordinary senses of the components.

Etymology

The word actionable comes from the word action ('an act' or 'doing') and the ending -able ('can be done'). So when advice or data is actionable it gives clear steps you can 'act' on and use right away.
