Root Explanation

Detachability → It is formed from "de-" (meaning down or away) and "tachare" (from Latin, meaning to touch or fasten) combined with the suffix "-ability" (meaning the quality of being able to). The word "detachability" refers to the quality of being able to be detached or separated.

Memory Tip

Think of 'de-' meaning 'away' and 'tachare' meaning 'to touch' — this helps you remember that detachability is about the ability to separate or take something away.
