Morphology

hireable = hire (transparent) = hire + able

The adjective is formed by the productive suffix '-able' meaning 'capable of being hired', so the connection to 'hire' is direct.

Etymology

Hireable comes from hire ('to pay for temporary use or rent') and the ending -able ('can be'). So when a bike, car, or boat is hireable, it simply means it 'can be hired' or rented for a short time.
