Morphology

mountable = mount (semi-transparent) = mount + able

Formally 'mount' (a riding animal) + '-able', but the noun 'mount' in this sense is less frequent and may be unfamiliar to some learners, so derivation is not fully obvious.

Etymology

Mountable comes from the word mount, which also means 'to get on' and is related to mountain from the idea of climbing up. So a mountable horse is 'able to be ridden' by a person.
