Root Explanation

Definable → It is formed from "de-" (meaning down or away) and "finire" (meaning to limit or to end) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "definable" means capable of being limited or clearly described.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'limited' or 'described' — 'de-' suggests a down or away action, 'finire' means to limit, and '-able' indicates capability.
