Morphology

addressable = address (transparent) = address + able

Standard adjectival formation from the verb 'address' with '-able'; the meaning 'capable of being addressed' is directly inferable though here applied in a computing context.

Etymology

Addressable comes from address, which meant 'to send to' or 'direct', plus the ending -able meaning 'can be'. Think of a house address that lets mail reach one place, so addressable memory or a device is something you can 'reach' or identify directly by its address.
