Morphology

scrollable = scroll (transparent) = scroll + able

This is a regular adjectival suffixation meaning 'able to be scrolled'.

Etymology

Scrollable comes from scroll, which once meant a 'rolled' piece of paper, and the ending -able means 'able to be'. So a scrollable part of a page is something you can 'roll' on a screen to see more content.
