Morphology

farmable = farm (semi-transparent) = farm + able

Formally 'farm' + '-able' is transparent, but the gaming/metaphorical sense of 'farm' (to repeatedly exploit for resources) is specialized and may be unfamiliar to some learners.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember the gaming sense of farmable is to think of farm as 'to gather again and again', like harvesting crops. So a farmable place in a game is one you can return to and 'collect' resources or experience many times.
