Root Explanation

Attachable → It is formed from "attach" (from Old French *atachier*, meaning to fasten or join) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "attachable" means capable of being fastened or joined.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'fastened' ('attach') — the '-able' means it can be done. So, attachable means it can be fastened.
