Morphology

assessable = assess (transparent) = assess + able

Productive adjective formation from the verb 'assess' with '-able' meaning 'able to be assessed', directly deriving the sense.

Etymology

Assessable comes from assess ('to judge or give a value') plus -able ('able to'). A helpful image is of old officials who would 'sit near' to check and set a tax or price, so assessable means something that can be officially examined and given a value.
