Morphology

ownable = own (transparent) = own + able

The meaning is directly derived from the verb 'own' with the suffix '-able', indicating capability or possibility.

Etymology

Ownable comes from the verb own ('to have') plus the ending -able ('can be'), so it literally means something 'can be owned'. This helps explain the legal use: ownable property is something a person or company 'can have' or possess under the law.
