Root Explanation

Fixable → It is formed from "fix" (from Latin "fixare", meaning to fasten or attach) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "fixable" means capable of being fastened or repaired.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'fastened' or 'attached' — 'fix' means to secure, and '-able' means capable. This helps you remember that 'fixable' refers to something that can be repaired.
