Morphology

admittable = admit (transparent) = admit + able

The word 'admittable' is transparently derived from 'admit' with the suffix '-able', indicating capability or suitability.

Etymology

Admittable comes from the verb admit, which means 'to allow in', plus the ending -able, which means 'able to'. So, admittable literally means 'able to be allowed in', which is why we use it for someone or something that may be permitted to enter.
