Morphology

grabbable = grab (transparent) = grab + able

The word 'grabbable' clearly derives from 'grab' with the suffix '-able', indicating capability.

Etymology

Grabbable comes from the verb grab meaning 'to take or seize quickly' and the ending -able meaning 'can be'. So a grabbable object is one you can easily take or hold.
