Root Explanation

Confessable → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "fateri" (meaning to admit or confess) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "confessable" means capable of being admitted or confessed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'admitting together' ('con-' means together and 'fateri' means to confess) — that's why something is confessable.
