Morphology

findable = find (transparent) = find + able

The word 'findable' is transparently derived from 'find' with the addition of the suffix '-able', indicating capability.

Etymology

Findable comes from the simple verb find, which means 'to discover', and the ending -able, which means 'can be'. So findable is something that 'can be found' or 'can be discovered'.
