Morphology

raisable = raise (transparent) = raise + able

Productive suffixation from the verb 'raise' with the adjectival '-able' yields the predictable meaning 'capable of being raised'.

Etymology

The word raisable comes from the verb raise ('to lift') plus the ending -able ('can be'). So raisable means something that 'can be lifted' or 'moved up'.
