Morphology

conformable = conform (transparent) = conform + able

Formed by adding '-able' to 'conform' yielding 'capable of being conformed to' / 'in agreement with', which is a regular, inferable formation.

Etymology

Conformable comes from the parts con- 'with' and form 'shape', the same root you see in form and uniform. Think of things that fit the same pattern or match a rule. So something conformable is in agreement with a standard or expectation.
