Root Explanation

Compatibleness → It is formed from "com-" (meaning together) and "patibilis" (from Latin, meaning able to suffer or endure). The suffix "-ness" indicates a state or quality. Thus, compatibleness refers to the quality of being able to exist or work together harmoniously.

Memory Tip

Think of 'together' ('com-') and 'able to endure' ('patibilis') to remember that compatibleness means the quality of being able to work well together.
