Morphology

sliceable = slice (semi-transparent) = slice + able

Formation is regular: -able attaches to the verb 'slice' to form an adjective meaning 'able to be sliced'.

Etymology

Sliceable comes from the common word slice, which means 'a thin part cut from a whole', and the ending -able, which means 'can be'. A helpful way to remember this sense is to think of a report or data as a cake you can cut into pieces: if it is sliceable, you can divide it into clear parts for analysis.
