Morphology

deportable = deport (transparent) = deport + able

Standard formation from 'deport' + '-able'; 'able to be removed or expelled' is directly derived.

Etymology

Deportable comes from the parts de- 'away' and portare 'to carry', just like in portable or transport. So, when a member is deportable from a club or school it means they can be sent away or removed from that place.
