Morphology

navigable = navigate (semi-transparent) = navigate + able

Etymology

A helpful way to remember navigable for websites and apps is to think of 'sailing' through pages. The word comes from Latin navigare, 'to sail', the same root as navigation, so a navigable site is easy to move through and find what you need.
