Morphology

rejectable = reject (transparent) = reject + able

The meaning is directly derived from 'reject' with the suffix '-able' indicating capability.

Etymology

Rejectable comes from re- 'back' and ject 'throw', the same idea in reject and eject. So, something rejectable can be 'thrown back' or 'refused', which is why it means 'able to be dismissed or not accepted'.
