Morphology

exportable = export (transparent) = export + able

Formed by productive suffixation of -able to the verb 'export', meaning 'able to be exported', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word exportable comes from the parts ex- ('out') and port ('carry'), the same root you see in portable and transport. So, a product or achievement that is exportable can be 'carried out' of one country and sold or shared in another.
