Root Explanation

Documentable → It is formed from "document" (from Latin "documentum", meaning a lesson or proof) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "documentable" means capable of being documented or able to be recorded as evidence.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'capable of being recorded' — 'document' refers to proof or evidence, and '-able' means it can be done.
