Morphology

addable = add (transparent) = add + able

The meaning is directly derived from the verb 'add' plus the productive adjective-forming suffix '-able' meaning 'capable of being added'.

Etymology

Addable is built from the common verb add, meaning 'to join' or 'put together', and the ending -able, meaning 'able to'. So addable means 'able to be added' or 'can be joined to something'.
