Morphology

beatable = beat (transparent) = beat + able

The word 'beatable' is transparently derived from 'beat' with the suffix '-able', indicating capability.

Etymology

The word beatable comes from the common verb beat, which means 'to defeat', as in 'beat someone in a game', and the ending -able, which means 'can be'. So beatable means 'can be defeated', which is why we use it for a person or thing that can lose.
