Formed productively by adding the suffix '-able' to the verb 'grow', yielding the clear meaning 'able to be grown'.

Etymology

Growable comes from grow ('to get bigger or to make plants grow') and the ending -able ('can be done'). So growable simply means something 'can be grown' or 'can increase in size or amount'.
