Root Explanation

Conceivableness → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together), "capere" (meaning to seize or take), and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word refers to the quality of being able to be seized or understood together, hence the ability to be conceived or imagined.

Memory Tip

Think of being able to 'seize' an idea 'together' — 'con-' means together, 'capere' means to seize, and '-able' means capable of. This helps you remember that 'conceivableness' refers to the quality of being able to be imagined or understood.
