Morphology

available = avail (semi-transparent) = avail + able

Formed by the productive suffix '-able' on the verb 'avail', yielding 'able to be availed/used'.

Etymology

Available comes from an old root val- meaning 'be strong' or 'be worth', the same root as value. So something available is 'of value' to you because it is ready to be used or obtained.
