Morphology

learnable = learn (transparent) = learn + able

Standard adjectival formation from the verb 'learn' with the productive suffix '-able' meaning 'capable of being', so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Learnable is made from learn and the ending -able, where learn means 'to get knowledge or a skill' and -able means 'able to be'. So learnable means 'able to be learned', which reminds you that with study or practice something can become known.
