Morphology

redeemable = redeem (transparent) = redeem + able

Derived from 'redeem' (to buy back or exchange) plus the productive suffix '-able'; the commercial/financial sense is a direct extension and thus inferable.

Etymology

Redeemable comes from Latin parts re- 'again' and emere 'to buy'. So when a coupon, ticket, or item is redeemable, it can be 'bought back' or exchanged for cash, goods, or services.
