Morphology

discountable = discount (transparent) = discount + able

The adjective is a regular formation from 'discount' + '-able' meaning 'capable of being discounted' and matches both price-reduction and evaluative senses.

Etymology

Discountable comes from discount and the ending -able; discount means 'to take away' and -able means 'can be done'. So a discountable item is something that can have part of its price 'taken away', which is why it can be reduced in price or treated as less important.
