Giftable → It is formed from "gift" (from Old Norse *gipt*, meaning a gift or present) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "giftable" means capable of being given as a gift.
Memory Tip
Think of something that is 'capable of being given' — 'gift' refers to a present, and '-able' means it can be done.
