Morphology
appreciable = appreciate (transparent) = appreciate + able
Formed by adding the productive adjective-forming suffix '-able' to the verb 'appreciate'; the meaning 'noticeable or considerable' is a predictable extension.
Etymology
Appreciable comes from the same idea behind appreciate and price, originally about giving something a 'value' or a 'price'. So if something is appreciable, it has enough 'value' or size to be noticed or measured.
