Morphology

downloadable = downloadable (transparent) = download + able

The noun sense is a straightforward conversion from the adjective 'downloadable', which is transparently built from 'download' + '-able'.

Etymology

Downloadable as a noun uses the same parts: download (with down 'from higher to lower' and load 'to put or carry') plus -able 'can be'. So a downloadable is a file you 'can bring down' from the internet to your device, for example a song or a PDF.
