Morphology

saveable = save (transparent) = save + able

Formed by adding the productive adjectival suffix '-able' to the verb 'save', yielding 'able to be saved', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Saveable comes from the verb save, which means 'keep safe' or 'store', plus the ending -able meaning 'can be'. So saveable means something that 'can be saved' or 'kept for later'.
