Morphology

dischargeable = discharge (transparent) = dis + charge + able

This is a regular adjective meaning 'able to be discharged' from the verb 'discharge'.

Etymology

Dischargeable comes from the verb discharge, with dis- meaning 'away' and charge meaning 'electrical energy' (like when you 'charge' your phone). So something dischargeable is able to have its electrical energy taken away or released.
