Morphology

crushable = crush (semi-transparent) = crush + able

Formed from the noun 'crush' + '-able' in a colloquial figurative sense meaning 'likely to inspire a crush'; this pragmatic, evaluative meaning may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Crushable comes from the verb crush, which can also mean 'to feel a strong romantic liking', and the ending -able, meaning 'can be' or 'likely to'. So crushable describes someone or something that easily makes people have a romantic 'crush'.
