Morphology

fusible = fuse (transparent) = fus + ible

The adjective is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ible' to the verb 'fuse', yielding 'capable of being fused'; the relation is directly guessable by learners.

Etymology

Fusible comes from a Latin root that means 'to pour' and shares the same root as fuse and fusion. So something fusible is easy to melt; imagine it turning into liquid and 'pouring', which is why it can be shaped with heat.
