Root Explanation

Discountable → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart) and "count" (from Latin "computare", meaning to calculate) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "discountable" refers to something that is capable of being calculated apart or deducted from a total.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'calculated apart' ('dis-') from the total amount — that's why discountable means it can be deducted.
