Morphology
durable = dur (semi-transparent) = dur + able
The technical computing sense extends the general 'long-lasting' notion (persistence) but is a domain-specific extension, so the morphological form is regular while the sense is specialized.
Etymology
In computing, durable keeps its original idea from Latin durare 'to last'; think of data that 'endures' a crash and stays safe. That's why durable storage or messages remain intact even after a failure.
