Morphology

resizable = resize (transparent) = re + size + able

Adding '-able' to the verb 'resize' gives the straightforward meaning 'able to be resized'.

Etymology

Resizable breaks into parts you already know: re- 'again', size 'how big', and -able 'can be'. So resizable means something 'can be made bigger or smaller', which is why we call an image or window resizable when you can change its size.
