Morphology

refillable = refill (transparent) = re + fill + able

The adjective is formed in a standard way from the verb 'refill' and means 'able to be refilled'.

Etymology

Refillable breaks into re- 'again', fill 'to put in', and -able 'can be'. So a refillable bottle or pen is one you 'can fill again' after it is empty.
