Morphology

pivotable = pivot (transparent) = pivot + able

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-able' to the verb 'pivot', yielding 'able to pivot' which directly matches the meanings given.

Etymology

Pivotable comes from pivot, which is 'a point you turn around', and the ending -able, which means 'able to'. So, think of a company that can 'turn' its plan quickly around a central point — that's why pivotable means able to change direction, role, or strategy quickly.
