Morphology

unlockable = unlock (transparent) = un + lock + able

The sense is directly compositional: something that is unlockable is able to be unlocked.

Etymology

Unlockable is built from unlock ('open a lock') and the ending -able ('can'), so it means something 'can be unlocked' — for example a phone or cabinet you can open with a key, code, or fingerprint.
