Morphology

constructible = construct (transparent) = construct + ible

Formed from 'construct' + '-ible' with meaning 'able to be constructed/instantiated'; the sense is predictable though used in programming contexts.

Etymology

The word constructible comes from construct ('to build') and the ending -ible ('able'). In programming this helps as a memory hook: a constructible class or type is one you can 'build' or make with a constructor, so the word means 'able to be created'.
