Root Explanation

Fishable → It is formed from "fish" (from Old English *fisc*, meaning a creature that lives in water) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "fishable" means capable of being fished or suitable for fishing.

Memory Tip

Think of a creature that lives in water ('fish') and something that is capable ('-able') — that's why fishable means suitable for fishing.
