Morphology
communicable = communicate (transparent) = communicate + able
The adjective is regularly formed from the verb 'communicate' + '-able', meaning 'capable of being communicated'.
Etymology
Communicable comes from the Latin root communicare, which means 'to share' and is the same root behind communicate and community. So, when an idea or feeling is communicable, it is 'able to be shared' or passed clearly to other people.
