Morphology

revisable = revise (transparent) = revise + able

Clear derivation from the verb 'revise' with the productive adjective-forming suffix '-able' meaning 'capable of being revised'.

Etymology

The word revisable comes from the parts re- 'again' and videre 'to see', the same root you find in vision and video. To 'see again' became the idea 'check and change', so revisable means 'able to be changed or corrected'.
