Root Explanation

Exportability → It is formed from "ex-" (meaning out of or away) and "portare" (meaning to carry) combined with the suffix "-ability" (meaning the quality of being able to). The word "exportability" refers to the quality of being able to carry goods out of a country.

Memory Tip

Think of 'carrying out' ('ex-' means out and 'portare' means to carry) and the '-ability' indicating the quality of that action. This helps you remember that exportability is about the ability to carry goods out.
