Morphology

holdable = hold (transparent) = hold + able

The adjective is formed by adding '-able' to the verb 'hold' with a sense extension to possession/retention that is still predictable.

Etymology

Holdable comes from the verb hold, meaning 'to keep', and the ending -able, meaning 'can be'. So a holdable asset is something you 'can keep' or keep for a period of time.
