Morphology

disclosable = disclose (transparent) = disclose + able

The adjective is formed by the very regular suffix '-able' from the verb 'disclose' with the expected meaning 'able to be disclosed'.

Etymology

Disclosable comes from dis- meaning 'not' or 'undo' and close from a word meaning 'to shut'. So it means 'able to be opened', which is why it now means 'able to be revealed'.
