Morphology

grabbable = grab (semi-transparent) = grab + able

The morphological structure is clear, but the sense 'likely to attract attention' is a figurative extension (attention can be 'grabbed'), so the meaning is not strictly literal.

Etymology

Grabbable comes from the verb grab meaning 'to catch attention quickly' and the ending -able meaning 'can be', so a grabbable headline is one that easily 'catches' a reader's eye.
