Morphology

meltable = melt (transparent) = melt + able

The adjective is a straightforward suffixation of 'melt' with '-able', meaning 'capable of being melted', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Meltable comes from the simple verb melt, which means 'to become liquid by heat', and the ending -able, which means 'able to', just like in washable or edible. So meltable means something is 'able to melt' or change from solid to liquid when heated.
