Morphology

reclosable = reclose (transparent) = re + close + able

The adjective is formed by adding '-able' to the verb 'reclose' with the regular meaning 'able to be reclosed'.

Etymology

Reclosable comes from the parts re- 'again' and close 'shut', the same idea you see in reopen. So a reclosable bag or jar is something you can shut again after opening to keep things fresh.
