Morphology

focusable = focus (transparent) = focus + able

Formed regularly from the verb 'focus' plus the productive suffix '-able', meaning 'capable of being focused'.

Etymology

Focusable comes from focus, a Latin word for 'hearth' or 'fireplace' that later came to mean a 'center' and the point where light meets, plus the suffix -able meaning 'able'. So focusable means 'able to be made sharp' or brought into that clear point where an image becomes focused.
