Morphology

distributable = distribute (transparent) = distribute + able

In computing this means 'able to be distributed/deployed', which is a direct extension of 'distribute' + '-able'.

Etymology

Distributable comes from the parts dis- meaning 'apart' and tribuere meaning 'to give', the same root as distribute and contribute. So distributable software or systems are ones you can 'send out' or 'spread' to run on many computers.
