Morphology

projectable = project (transparent) = project + able

Formed from the verb 'project' (to cast or display an image) + '-able', yielding the straightforward meaning 'able to be projected onto a surface'.

Etymology

Projectable comes from project, from pro- 'forward' and ject 'to throw', and shares its root with projector, the machine that 'throws' light. So something projectable can be shown or put onto a screen or wall as an image.
