Morphology

regulatable = regulate (transparent) = regulate + able

Standard adjectival formation from 'regulate' + '-able'; the meaning 'able to be regulated' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Regulatable comes from the word regulate, which goes back to an old Latin root regula meaning 'rule'. So when a device is regulatable, it means it can be adjusted or controlled by a tool or a setting.
