Morphology

pullable = pull (transparent) = pull + pull + able

A straightforward derivation from the verb 'pull' + '-able'; an average learner who knows 'pull' and '-able' will understand 'able to be pulled'.

Etymology

Pullable is made from pull and the ending -able, meaning 'can be pulled'. So a pullable object is one you can move or open by pulling it.
