Morphology

fundable = fund (transparent) = fund + able

Meaning is directly derived from the verb 'fund' + the productive suffix '-able' meaning 'able to be funded'.

Etymology

Fundable comes from the common word fund ('money') and the ending -able ('able to be'). So a fundable project is 'able to receive money or support', which is why we call ideas or plans that can get investment 'fundable'.
