Morphology

clickable = click (transparent) = click + able

Formed from 'click' + '-able'; the nuance 'designed to encourage clicking' is an extension but still derivable from the base action.

Etymology

Clickable is built from click, the small 'click' you make with a mouse, and -able, meaning 'can be', and in this sense it means 'made to get a click'. So a clickable headline or ad is 'designed to be clicked' to make people visit the page.
