Morphology

rechargeable = recharge (transparent) = re + charge + able

The adjective is formed in a standard way from the verb 'recharge' and means 'able to be recharged'.

Etymology

Rechargeable comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and charge meaning 'to fill with energy'. So a rechargeable battery or device is one you can 'fill with power again', like charging a phone, which is why you can use it many times instead of throwing it away.
