Morphology

conformant = conform (transparent) = conform + ant

Derived by adding the adjectival suffix '-ant' to 'conform' to describe someone or something that conforms; meaning is predictable.

Etymology

Conformant comes from con- 'together' and form 'shape', which gives the picture of a person 'shaped' to match others. So a conformant person is willing to 'fit in' and follow the group's rules.
