Root Explanation

Crunchable → It is formed from "crunch" (from the Middle English "crunchen", meaning to crush or grind) and "-able" (meaning capable of being). The word "crunchable" means capable of being crushed or ground, often referring to food that can be easily bitten into with a crunching sound.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'capable of being crushed' — 'crunch' refers to the sound of crushing, and '-able' means it can be done.
