Morphology

procurable = procure (transparent) = procure + able

Clear, regular formation from the verb 'procure' with the productive adjectival suffix '-able' meaning 'able to be obtained'.

Etymology

Procurable comes from the old Latin verb procurare, made of pro- 'for' and curare 'to care for', so it originally meant taking care to get something. So, if something is procurable, it can be 'obtained', meaning you can get it.
