Morphology

conciliable = conciliate (transparent) = conciliate + able

Formed by the verb 'conciliate' + the productive suffix '-able', so the meaning 'able to be conciliated/reconciled' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Conciliable comes from Latin parts con- meaning 'together' and concilium, a word for a 'meeting' that also gave English the word council. So a conciliable person is someone who can be 'brought back together' or 'won over'.
