Morphology

payable = pay (transparent) = pay + able

Although used in a specialized programming context, the meaning is directly derived from 'pay' + '-able' to indicate that something can receive payment.

Etymology

Payable in programming follows the same parts: pay + -able, meaning 'able to be paid'. That is why a payable function or address in a smart contract is one that can accept or receive money.
