Morphology

ownable = own (semi-transparent) = own + able

Formally 'own' + '-able' is clear, but the meaning depends on the informal/slang sense of 'own' (to dominate), which may be unfamiliar to many learners.

Etymology

Ownable in informal speech comes from the slang verb own ('to beat or humiliate') plus -able ('can be'), so it means someone or something 'can be owned' in the sense of being easy to defeat. That's why players say a weak opponent is ownable in games or online.
