Morphology

memorizable = memorize (transparent) = memorize + able

Direct and regular derivation from the verb 'memorize' with the productive suffix '-able' meaning 'capable of being remembered'.

Etymology

Memorizable comes from the familiar word memory ('memory' or what you keep in your mind) plus the ending -able ('able to'). So memorizable means 'able to be remembered', in other words easy to remember.
