Morphology

hangable = hang (transparent) = hang + able

Formed by the productive suffix '-able' on the verb 'hang' meaning 'able to be hung', which is directly predictable.

Etymology

Hangable comes from hang ('to hang') and -able ('able to'), so it simply means 'able to be hung', like a picture or mirror you can put on a wall.
