Morphology

enjoyable = enjoy (transparent) = enjoy + able

The adjective is a regular formation from the verb 'enjoy' with '-able', meaning 'able to be enjoyed'.

Etymology

Enjoyable comes from the parts en- and joy, where en- means 'in' and joy means 'happiness'. So something enjoyable puts you 'in' joy and therefore gives pleasure or feels pleasant to experience.
