Morphology

titratable = titrate (transparent) = titrate + able

Formed by the verb 'titrate' + productive suffix '-able'; the meaning 'able to be adjusted gradually' follows standard English derivation, though it is a technical/medical usage.

Etymology

Titratable comes from the verb titrate, which means 'to add or change something little by little' until you reach the right strength, like slowly turning a radio dial to find the clearest sound. So a titratable medicine is one you can raise or lower step by step to get the correct dose.
