Morphology

surmountable = surmount (transparent) = surmount + able

Formed by the productive suffix '-able' on the verb 'surmount' yielding 'able to be overcome', a directly predictable meaning.

Etymology

Surmountable comes from sur- meaning 'over' and mount meaning 'to climb', the same root you see in mountain and mount. So something 'surmountable' is like a hill you can climb or a problem you can 'get over', which is why it means 'able to be overcome'.
