Morphology

surfable = surf (transparent) = surf + able

Formed directly from the verb 'surf' + '-able'; if learners know 'surf' (to browse the web), they can infer 'able to be surfed'.

Etymology

The word surfable comes from the verb surf ('to ride waves') and the ending -able ('can be'). People started using surf for moving quickly across the internet, like riding waves on a surfboard, so a website that is surfable is easy to browse or 'ride' through.
