Morphology

utilizable = utilize (transparent) = util + ize + able

The word is transparently built from 'utilize' plus '-able', meaning 'capable of being utilized.'

Etymology

Utilizable comes from the root util-, which means 'useful' and appears in everyday words like utility and utilize, and the ending -able means 'can be'. So, utilizable simply means 'can be used' or fit for practical use.
