Morphology

evaluable = evaluate (transparent) = evaluate + able

Built from the verb 'evaluate' plus the familiar adjectival suffix '-able', yielding 'capable of being evaluated', which is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

The word evaluable comes from evaluate and the ending -able, and is related to the familiar word value, which means 'worth'. So if something is evaluable you can judge or measure it and give it a value for quality or score.
