Morphology

positionable = position (transparent) = position + able

Formation from 'position' + '-able' straightforwardly yields 'able to be positioned', so learners can derive the meaning.

Etymology

Positionable starts with position, which comes from an old word meaning 'to put', just like in the common word pose. The ending -able means 'can be', so positionable simply means something 'can be put' or arranged in a particular place.
