Morphology

reviewable = review (transparent) = review + able

Formed by the productive verb + -able pattern meaning 'able to be [reviewed]', which is immediately interpretable by learners.

Etymology

Reviewable breaks into re- 'again', view 'see', and -able 'can be'. So something reviewable can be 'seen again' or checked again, which is why it means 'able to be examined or checked'.
