Root Explanation

Discussible → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart) and "cuss" (from Latin "quassare", meaning to shake or strike). The suffix "-ible" (meaning capable of) indicates that something can be shaken apart or examined. Thus, "discussible" refers to something that can be examined or debated.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'shaken apart' or examined ('cuss') and is 'capable of' being talked about ('-ible'). This helps you remember that 'discussible' means something that can be discussed.
