Morphology

frameable = frame (transparent) = frame + able

Productive formation from the verb 'frame' (to falsely incriminate) + '-able'; the resulting adjective 'frameable' meaning 'capable of being framed' is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word frameable is made of frame and -able, where frame can also mean 'to make someone look guilty' (as by making a false story) and -able means 'able to be'. So frameable means 'able to be falsely accused or set up'.
