Morphology

reachable = reach (transparent) = reach + able

The adjective is a straightforward suffixation of the verb 'reach' with '-able', meaning 'capable of being reached'.

Etymology

Reachable comes from the simple verb reach, which once meant 'to stretch out' or 'grab', plus the ending -able meaning 'can be'. So, something reachable is something you 'can reach' or get to without much trouble.
