Morphology

crunchable = crunch (semi-transparent) = crunch + able

Formed from 'crunch' + '-able', but the sense depends on the idiomatic/metaphorical use 'crunch (numbers/data)', which is not purely literal for learners.

Etymology

The word crunchable is also used for data and files: it uses crunch like in the phrase 'number crunching', which means to work through many numbers, and the ending -able, meaning 'can be'. So crunchable means 'can be processed or analyzed by a computer', which explains the data meaning.
