Root Explanation

Appropriable → It is formed from "appropriare" (meaning to make one's own) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "appropriable" means capable of being made one's own or suitable for appropriation.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'made one's own' — 'appropriare' means to make something yours, and '-able' means it can be done.
