Morphology

recordable = record (semi-transparent) = record + able

Morphologically transparent but the sense is specialized/legal (entering into an official/public registry), which may not be inferable to all learners from the base verb alone.

Etymology

Recordable combines the verb record with -able, where -able means 'can', and record here means 'to write or enter something officially'. The old parts re- 'again' and cor 'heart' led to the idea of 'keeping something to remember', so recordable means 'able to be entered into an official public record or registry'.
