Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Dateable → It is formed from "date" (from Old French *date*, meaning a specific day or time) and "-able" (meaning capable of or suitable for). The word "dateable" means suitable for dating or having the potential to be taken on a date.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'date' as a specific time to meet someone, and '-able' means capable of — so 'dateable' refers to someone who is suitable for going on a date.
