Morphology

restartable = restart (transparent) = re + start + able

This is a regular adjective formed from the verb 'restart' with '-able', meaning capable of being restarted.

Etymology

The word restartable joins re- ('again'), the familiar verb start, and -able ('can be'). So it means something you 'can be started again', like a download or game that continues from where it stopped.
