Morphology

realizable = realize (transparent) = realize + able

Meaning is directly derived from the verb 'realize' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-able' meaning 'able to be'.

Etymology

The word realizable comes from realize (to make something real) plus the ending -able meaning 'can be'. The root real means 'real' or 'actual', so something realizable is 'able to be made real' or possible to do.
