Morphology

joinable = join (semi-transparent) = join + able

Formally derived from 'join' + '-able', but the database/technical sense requires domain knowledge.

Etymology

Joinable comes from join ('to join') plus -able ('able to'), and join is the same root as the familiar word joint, a place where things meet. Imagine two tables with a matching column like a little bridge — if the tables are joinable, you can connect their data.
