Root Explanation

Investable → It is formed from "invest" (from Latin "investire", meaning to clothe or put on) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "investable" refers to something that is capable of being invested in or suitable for investment.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'capable of being invested in' — 'invest' means to put money into something, and '-able' means it can be done.
