Morphology

loadable = load (transparent) = load + able

Formed from the verb 'load' with the productive suffix '-able' meaning 'capable of being loaded', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

Loadable comes from the simple word load and the ending -able, where load means 'to put into or onto' and -able means 'can be'. So something loadable is 'able to be loaded', like a file you can put into a program or a box you can put on a truck.
