Morphology

submergible = submerge (transparent) = submerge + ible

Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ible' to the verb 'submerge', yielding 'able to be submerged' which matches the sense.

Etymology

Submergible comes from sub- 'under' and mergere 'to dip', and it shares the same root as submerge. So a submergible device can go under water and still work while below the surface.
