Morphology

reclinable = recline (transparent) = recline + able

Formed from the verb 'recline' with the productive suffix '-able', so the meaning 'able to be reclined' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Reclinable comes from the parts re- 'back' and clin- as in incline which means 'to lean', so it literally means 'able to lean back'. That's why a reclinable chair can be adjusted to lean or lie back for comfort.
