Morphology

spendable = spend (transparent) = spend + able

Formed by the productive suffix '-able' added to the verb 'spend', yielding 'able to be spent', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

Spendable comes from the verb spend and the ending -able. Spend means 'to use money' and -able means 'able to be', so spendable means money 'able to be spent' and therefore describes funds you can actually use.
