Morphology

traceable = trace (transparent) = trace + able

Productive derivation with '-able' from the verb 'trace' to mean 'capable of being found or followed'.

Etymology

Traceable comes from the verb trace, from the old root tract meaning 'to pull' or 'to draw', the same idea behind track and tractor. That's why when something is traceable it leaves marks or evidence you can find and follow.
