Root Explanation

Discriminable → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart) and "criminare" (from Latin, meaning to separate or distinguish). The word "discriminable" means capable of being distinguished or separated from others.

Memory Tip

Think of being able to 'separate' ('criminare') things 'apart' ('dis-') — that's why discriminable means something that can be distinguished.
