Morphology

ascendable = ascend (transparent) = ascend + able

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-able' to the verb 'ascend'; meaning 'capable of being ascended' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Ascendable comes from the root ascend, which means 'to climb up', plus the ending -able, which means 'able to'. So something ascendable is 'able to be climbed', which is why we use it for paths or stairs you can go up.
