Morphology

rateable = rate (semi-transparent) = rate + able

Formation 'rate' + '-able' is morphologically clear, but the sense as a legal/tax term for property assessed for local rates is specialized.

Etymology

Rateable comes from the common word rate, which means 'a fixed charge or tax', and the ending -able meaning 'able to be'. So a rateable property is simply something 'able to be taxed' by the local government.
