Morphology

buildable = build (transparent) = build + able

Formed by the verb 'build' plus the productive suffix '-able' meaning 'able to be built'; the software-specific sense is a specialized use but the morphological composition is direct.

Etymology

Buildable comes from build ('to make or put together') and the ending -able ('can'). In computing, think of a software 'build' like making a house: if the code is buildable it 'can be made' into a working program.
