Morphology

securable = secure (transparent) = secure + able

Formed by adding the productive adjectival/nominal suffix '-able' to the verb 'secure', yielding 'able to be secured' in an ordinary, regular way.

Etymology

Securable comes from the Latin root secur- meaning 'free from care', and you can see the same root in the words secure and sure, while -able means 'able to be'. So a securable lid is 'able to be made secure' — that is, fastened or locked so it stays in place.
