Morphology

matchable = match (transparent) = match + able

Clearly derived from the verb 'match' + '-able' meaning 'able to be matched/found by matching', a direct, productive formation.

Etymology

Matchable comes from the word match, which can mean to 'find a pair' or 'fit', and the ending -able, meaning 'can be'. So a record or profile that is matchable 'can be found' or 'paired' by a search or filter.
