I found the article on climate change to be quite apprehensible and informative.

Root Explanation

Apprehensible is formed from "apprehendere" (meaning to seize or grasp) and the suffix "-ible" (meaning capable of). The word describes something that is capable of being grasped or understood.

Memory Tip

Think of 'grasping' or 'seizing' an idea — that's why apprehensible means something that can be understood.
