Morphology
exercisable = exercise (transparent) = exercis + able
The adjective is formed from the verb 'exercise' with the productive suffix '-able'; meaning 'able to be exercised' is directly inferable despite the orthographic truncation.
Etymology
Exercisable comes from the Latin word exercere, which means 'to keep busy' or 'to train', and it is the same root as the English word exercise. So something that is exercisable can be practiced or trained by doing it.
