Morphology

mixable = mix (transparent) = mix + able

Formed by the verb 'mix' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-able', meaning 'capable of being mixed', which is directly derivable by learners.

Etymology

The word mixable comes from the simple verb mix, from an old Latin word meaning 'to mix', and the ending -able means 'able to'. So something mixable is 'able to be mixed', like paints that blend into one color rather than staying apart.
