Morphology

appendant = append (transparent) = append + ant

The adjective is directly formed from the verb 'append' with the adjectival suffix '-ant', meaning 'attached' or 'affixed'.

Etymology

Appendant comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and pendere 'to hang', the same root you see in pendant and append. So, an appendant is something 'hung on' or attached as a small extra.
