configurable positive

Morphology

configurable = configure (transparent) = configure + able

Meaning is directly derived from the verb 'configure' with the productive adjective-forming suffix '-able', indicating something can be configured.

Etymology

Configurable comes from parts that mean 'together' and 'form'. The con- part means 'together' and the figur part is the same root as figure, meaning 'form' or 'shape', so a configurable thing can be 'shaped together' to fit your needs and be set up the way you want.
