Morphology

combinable = combine (transparent) = combine + able

Meaning is directly derived from the verb 'combine' plus the adjectival suffix '-able' meaning 'able to be combined'.

Etymology

Combinable comes from combine, built from com- 'together' and a part like bind 'to join', so it literally means 'able to be joined together'. That's why something combinable can be mixed or joined with other things.
