Morphology

downloadable = download (transparent) = down + load + able

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-able' to the verb 'download'; the meaning 'able to be downloaded' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Downloadable comes from the verb download, made of down 'from higher to lower' and load 'to put or carry', with the ending -able 'can be'. So a downloadable file is something you 'can bring down' from the internet into your own device, like taking a book down from a shelf.
