Root Explanation

Confirmable → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "firmare" (meaning to make firm or strengthen) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "confirmable" means capable of being made firm or validated together.

Memory Tip

Think of making something 'firm' or 'strong' ('firmare') together ('con-') — that's why confirmable means something that can be validated.
