Morphology

grindable = grind (semi-transparent) = grind + able

Formed from 'grind' + '-able' but relies on the figurative gaming sense of 'grind' (repetitive in-game tasks), which may not be known to learners familiar only with the physical sense.

Etymology

Grindable here is made from grind and -able, and a helpful way to remember it is that grind can mean 'to do boring, repeat work' and -able means 'can be'. So in games a grindable area is one you can repeat again and again to get items or experience.
