Morphology

organizable = organize (transparent) = organize + able

Derives productively from 'organize' (in the sense 'form into an organization' or 'mobilize') + '-able', so the meaning is inferable.

Etymology

Organizable comes from organize and the ending -able, where -able means 'can be'. Imagine people like parts of a machine or a musical organ that can be put together to play a tune. If they can be formed into a group and set to act together, they are 'organizable', which explains why the word means 'capable of being formed into an organization or mobilized for collective action'.
