Morphology
diagnosable = diagnose (transparent) = diagnos + able
Formed by the verb 'diagnose' + productive suffix '-able' meaning 'able to be diagnosed', which an average learner can deduce.
Etymology
The word diagnosable comes from the Greek parts dia- 'through' and gnosis 'knowledge', the same root you see in diagnose and connected to the English idea 'know'. So if something is diagnosable, you can 'know through' the signs and identify it as a particular disease or condition.
