Morphology

touchable = touch (transparent) = touch + able

The word 'touchable' is transparently derived from 'touch' with the suffix '-able', meaning 'able to be touched'.

Etymology

Touchable starts with touch, which means 'to feel with your skin', and ends with -able, which means 'can be'. So something touchable is 'able to be touched' or 'can be felt' with your hands.
