Morphology

runnable = run (transparent) = run + able

Formed by adding '-able' to the verb 'run' to indicate suitability for running; the relation is straightforward.

Etymology

Runnable comes from the verb run meaning 'to move quickly on foot' and the ending -able meaning 'can be'. So a path or shoe that is runnable is safe or suitable to 'run' on.
