Morphology

appetible = appetite (transparent) = appetite + ible

The sense 'pleasing to the appetite' is a direct specialization of 'capable of being desired' and follows from 'appetite' + '-ible'.

Etymology

Appetible is like appetizing and shares its root with appetite, from Latin petere meaning 'to seek' or 'to desire'. So, food that is appetible is pleasing to the taste and makes you want to eat it.
