Morphology

selectable = select (transparent) = select + able

The adjective is transparently formed from 'select' + '-able' to mean 'able to be chosen or highlighted'.

Etymology

Selectable comes from select ('to choose') and the ending -able ('can be'), much like a highlighted item you can click in a menu. So selectable means something you 'can choose' or pick on a screen.
