Morphology

convincible = convince (transparent) = convince + ible

Formed by the verb 'convince' + the productive adjectival suffix '-ible', yielding 'able to be convinced', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Convincible comes from the parts con- 'with' and vincere 'to win', the same root as victory. So someone who is convincible is someone you can 'win over' with reason or evidence, which is why the word means 'easily persuaded'.
