Root Explanation

Enviableness is formed from "envy" (from Old French *envie*, meaning desire for what another has) and "-able" (meaning capable of being) and "-ness" (meaning the state of being). The word refers to the state of being capable of feeling envy or jealousy.

Memory Tip

Think of the desire for what others have ('envy') and how being 'capable of' feeling that ('-able') creates a state of jealousy ('-ness').
