Morphology

mitigable = mitigate (transparent) = mitigate + able

Formed by the verb 'mitigate' + the productive suffix '-able', meaning 'capable of being mitigated', a direct and regular derivation.

Etymology

Mitigable comes from the Latin root mitig-, meaning 'to soften' or 'make less severe', and you can see the same root in mitigate and mitigation. So something mitigable can be 'softened' — its harm or severity can be made smaller.
