Morphology

holdable = hold (transparent) = hold + able

Derived by adding the productive suffix '-able' to 'hold' with the eventive sense 'to hold (an event)', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Holdable comes from the verb hold, which can also mean 'to have or run' an event, together with the ending -able, meaning 'can be'. So a holdable meeting is one that 'can be held' or can take place.
