Morphology
dissociable = dissociate (semi-transparent) = dis + soci + ate + able
The meaning is mostly predictable from 'dissociate', but the stem change from 'dissociate' to 'dissociable' makes the derivation less straightforward for learners.
Etymology
The word dissociable comes from the parts dis- 'apart' and soci- 'companion', the same root you see in associate and 'social'. So something dissociable can be taken 'apart' or thought of as separate from what it was joined to.
