Morphology

evaluable = evaluate (transparent) = evaluate + able

Formed by the verb 'evaluate' plus the productive suffix '-able', meaning 'capable of being evaluated', which is directly derivable by learners.

Etymology

The word evaluable comes from evaluate and the ending -able, and is related to the familiar word value, which means 'worth'. So in computing, if something is evaluable it can be given a value or result and therefore can be calculated.
