Morphology

displayable = display (transparent) = display + able

Formed by the verb 'display' + the productive suffix '-able' meaning 'capable of being displayed', a direct and regular derivation.

Etymology

Displayable comes from display meaning 'to show' and the ending -able meaning 'able to'. So displayable means 'able to be shown', for example something that can be clearly shown on a screen or other display.
