advanceable positive

Morphology

advanceable = advance (transparent) = advance + able

The financial meaning is a standard sense of 'advance' (to pay ahead), and '-able' productively yields 'capable of being advanced', so the composition is clear.

Etymology

Advanceable comes from the noun advance meaning 'payment given early' and the ending -able meaning 'can be'. So, advanceable costs or salaries are things that 'can be' paid before the usual time, like travel money given before a trip.
