Morphology

makable = make (transparent) = make + able

Clearly derived from the verb 'make' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-able', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Makable is made from make and -able. Here make means 'to produce or create' and -able means 'able to be', so makable simply means 'able to be made', like 'doable' or 'readable'.
