Morphology

wooable = woo (transparent) = woo + able

Formed by the productive suffix '-able' added to the verb 'woo', yielding the straightforward meaning 'able to be wooed'.

Etymology

Wooable comes from the old English verb woo, which means 'to court' or 'seek love', and the ending -able means 'able to be'. So, someone who is wooable is 'able to be courted' or 'won as a romantic partner'.
