I found this new recipe that uses ingredients that are combinable in different ways.

That sounds interesting! What are the main ingredients?

It's mainly pasta, vegetables, and some spices, so you can mix them up.

Nice! I love recipes that let you be creative with combinable elements.

Root Explanation

Combinable → It is formed from "com-" (meaning together) and "binare" (from Latin, meaning to put or place). The suffix "-able" (meaning capable of) indicates that something can be combined. Thus, "combinable" means capable of being put together or combined.

Memory Tip

Think of things that can be 'put together' ('binare') and 'together' ('com-') — that's why combinable means something that can be combined.
