Morphology

occupiable = occupy (transparent) = occupy + able

Formed by the verb 'occupy' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-able' meaning 'able to be occupied'; the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Occupiable comes from the verb occupy, which means 'to take or use a place' and is the same root you see in occupation and occupant. So occupiable means 'able to be taken or used', which is why we call a building occupiable when people can live in or use it.
