Morphology

resumable = resume (transparent) = resume + able

The adjective is formed from the verb 'resume' with the productive suffix '-able' meaning 'able to be resumed', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

The word resumable comes from the re- part meaning 'again' and the verb resume meaning 'take up' or 'start again'. So, something resumable is able to be 'taken up again' after a pause, like a download or an online lesson.
