Morphology

attemptable = attempt (transparent) = attempt + able

The productive suffix '-able' attaches to the verb 'attempt' to form an adjective meaning 'able to be attempted', which is directly predictable by learners.

Etymology

The word attemptable comes from attempt, which means 'to try', plus the ending -able, which means 'can be done'. So, something attemptable is something you 'can try' or make an effort at.
