Morphology

fortifiable = fortify (transparent) = fortify + able

Productive suffixation from 'fortify' to indicate capability of being fortified (here 'enriched' or 'strengthened' by additives).

Etymology

Fortifiable comes from the Latin root fortis meaning 'strong' and the same idea in the word fortify, which means 'to make strong'. So a fortifiable food or drink is one that can be made stronger by adding vitamins or alcohol.
