Morphology

crackable = crack (transparent) = crack + able

The adjective is directly formed from the verb 'crack' + the productive suffix '-able', yielding 'able to be cracked' in the literal and figurative senses.

Etymology

Crackable comes from crack 'to break or make a sharp sound' and the ending -able 'can be done'. Think of cracking a safe or cracking a code: it means something you can break open or solve if you try hard enough.
