Morphology

clubbable = club (transparent) = club + able

Meaning is directly derived from 'club' + the adjectival suffix '-able' (suitable for or inclined toward clubs); orthographic doubling of 'b' is a spelling convention.

Etymology

Clubbable comes from club and the ending -able, so it literally means 'able to be in a club'. So a clubbable person is friendly and fits well into social groups or clubs.
