Morphology
reconfigurable = reconfigure (transparent) = re + configure + able
The adjective is a regular and easily interpretable formation meaning 'able to be reconfigured'.
Etymology
The word reconfigurable breaks into re-, meaning 'again', and configure, which is like figure and means 'shape' or 'form'. So a reconfigurable device or system can be 'shaped again', and it can be changed or rearranged by changing software or settings.
