Morphology

huggable = hug (transparent) = hug + able

Meaning is directly derived from the verb 'hug' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-able' (orthographic doubling of 'g' does not affect transparency).

Etymology

Huggable comes from the simple verb hug, which means 'to hold tightly and with love', plus the ending -able, which means 'can be'. So something huggable is 'can be hugged' — soft, cute, or warm enough that you want to hug it.
