Morphology

securable = secure (transparent) = secure + able

Standard derivation: 'secure' (make safe) + '-able' yields 'able to be made safe', a directly compositional meaning.

Etymology

Securable comes from the Latin root secur- meaning 'free from care', seen in secure and sure, and the ending -able means 'able to be'. So something securable is 'able to be kept safe' or protected from danger or loss.
