Surface Forms

kickable positive

Morphology

kickable = kick (semi-transparent) = kick + able

The form is built transparently from 'kick' + '-able', but the sense 'able to be removed by an administrator' is metaphorical rather than a literal physical kicking.

Etymology

Kickable also uses the idea of kick as in 'kick out' (to force someone out) with the ending -able meaning 'able to'. That is why in online groups or games something 'kickable' is 'able to be removed' by an admin.
