Did you know that those tickets are exchangeable if you can't make it?

Root Explanation

Exchangeable → It is formed from "ex-" (meaning out of or from) and "cambiare" (meaning to change or exchange) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "exchangeable" means capable of being exchanged or changed out for something else.

Memory Tip

Think of being able to 'change out' ('cambiare') something 'from' ('ex-') one thing to another — that's why exchangeable means something that can be exchanged.
