Morphology

implementable = implement (transparent) = implement + able

Formed by the verb 'implement' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-able'; meaning 'capable of being implemented' is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word implementable is made from implement, meaning a 'tool' or a plan to do a job, and the part -able, meaning 'can be done'. So, something implementable is 'able to be put into practice' or 'can actually be carried out'.
