I was trying to understand that complex theory in class.

Yeah, it can be tricky, but some parts are explainable if you break them down.

That's true! I wish the teacher would make it more explainable during the lectures.

Root Explanation

Explainable → It is formed from "ex-" (meaning out of or from) and "planare" (meaning to make level or flat), combined with the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "explainable" means capable of being made clear or understandable, as if bringing something out into the open.

Memory Tip

Think of something being made clear or 'brought out' ('ex-') to be understood, which is what 'explainable' means.
