Morphology

satiable = sate (transparent) = sati + able

The word 'satiable' is transparently derived from 'sate' with the addition of the suffix '-able', indicating the capability of being satisfied.

Etymology

Satiable comes from the Latin root satis, which means 'enough', and it shares the same idea as satisfy. So, if someone or something is satiable, it can be given enough to stop wanting more.
