Morphology

checkable = check (transparent) = check + able

The word 'checkable' is transparently derived from 'check' with the addition of the suffix '-able', indicating capability.

Etymology

The word checkable comes from the verb check ('to look for mistakes or stop and examine') plus the ending -able ('can be'). Check originally came from an old chess word meaning 'stop the king', which gave it the idea of stopping to test something, so checkable means something you can test or verify.
