Morphology

verifiable = verify (transparent) = verify + able

Standard adjective formed from the verb 'verify' with '-able', meaning 'capable of being verified', which is directly derivable by learners.

Etymology

Verifiable comes from the part veri- meaning 'true' (you can see the same idea in verify) and the ending -able meaning 'can be'. So, something verifiable can be checked and shown to be 'true'.
