Morphology

imperfectible = imperfect (transparent) = im + perfect + ible

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ible' to the adjective 'imperfect' to mean 'capable of being imperfect', a straightforward derivation.

Etymology

Imperfectible breaks into im- 'not', perfect 'complete', and the ending -ible 'able', like in possible. So, imperfectible means something that can be made not perfect or 'able to become less than perfect'.
