Morphology

fireable = fire (transparent) = fire + able

Clear derivation from the verb 'fire' (to shoot) plus the productive suffix '-able'.

Etymology

Fireable comes from fire meaning 'to shoot' or 'to discharge a weapon' and the ending -able meaning 'can be', so it means something 'can be fired' like a working gun or cannon.
