Morphology

updatable = update (transparent) = update + able

Formed from the verb 'update' with the productive adjectival suffix '-able'; meaning 'able to be updated' is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word updatable comes from the common verb update and the ending -able, where up suggests moving to a newer state and date is about time, while -able means 'can be'. So something updatable can 'be made newer' or changed to a later version.
