Morphology

useable = use (transparent) = use + able

Meaning is directly derived from the verb 'use' plus the productive suffix '-able' indicating 'able to be used'; orthographic variant 'useable' is equivalent to 'usable'.

Etymology

Useable comes from the simple verb use, which means 'to put into action', plus the ending -able, which means 'able to be'. So useable is something that 'can be used' or is fit for use.
