Morphology

suckable = suck (transparent) = suck + able

The meaning 'able to be sucked' follows directly from the verb 'suck' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-able'.

Etymology

The word suckable comes from the simple verb suck, which means 'to draw in with the mouth', and the ending -able, which means 'can be done'. So, suckable means 'can be sucked', for example a lollipop or a medicine that is easy to take by mouth.
