Morphology

selectable = select (transparent) = select + able

The word 'selectable' is clearly derived from 'select' with the addition of the suffix '-able', indicating capability or suitability.

Etymology

Selectable comes from select, from an old Latin root meaning 'to choose', plus the ending -able meaning 'can be'. So selectable means 'can be chosen' for a team or role.
