Morphology

comprehendible = comprehend (transparent) = comprehend + ible

The adjective is formed from the verb 'comprehend' with the productive suffix '-ible' meaning 'able to be', so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Comprehendible comes from the parts com- meaning 'together' and prehend meaning 'to take'. Think of it as 'taking' an idea into your mind, like 'grasping' something with your hand, so comprehendible means it can be understood.
