Morphology

processable = process (transparent) = process + able

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

Etymology

Processable comes from process, a common word for a set of steps or actions, and the ending -able, which means 'can be'. So processable describes something that 'can be' put through those steps or handled by a system.
