Root Explanation

Heatable is formed from "heat" (from Old English "hætu", meaning warmth or hotness) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "heatable" means capable of being heated or able to be warmed up.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'capable of being warmed' — 'heat' refers to warmth, and '-able' means it can do that.
