Root Explanation

Drawable → It is formed from "draw" (from Old English "dragan", meaning to pull or drag) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "drawable" means capable of being drawn or pulled out.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'pulled out' ('draw') — and the '-able' means it can be done. This helps you remember that 'drawable' refers to something that can be drawn.
