Morphology

attractable = attract (transparent) = attract + able

Meaning is directly derived from the verb 'attract' plus the productive adjective-forming suffix '-able' meaning 'capable of being attracted'.

Etymology

Attractable comes from the parts at- 'to', the root tract 'pull', and the ending -able 'can be'. Think of a tractor that pulls things, so something attractable is 'able to be pulled' toward a magnet.
