Morphology

investable = invest (transparent) = invest + able

Formed by productive English suffixation 'invest' + '-able', meaning 'suitable to be invested in', which is predictable for learners who know the verb and the suffix.

Etymology

Investable starts with invest, a word that once meant 'to clothe' and is related to the simple word vest ('a piece of clothing'), but later came to mean 'putting money into' something. The ending -able means 'can be', so investable means 'can be invested' or 'suitable for investment'.
