Morphology

draftable = draft (semi-transparent) = draft + able

Clear morphological relation for speakers familiar with the technical noun 'draft' (taper), but this is specialized vocabulary and may not be obvious to general learners.

Etymology

Draftable comes from draft meaning 'a small angle that helps you pull something out of a mold' and the ending -able meaning 'can be'. So, draftable means a part 'can be removed from a mold easily', which is why designers check for draftability.
