Root Explanation

Manufacturable → It is formed from "manu" (from Latin *manus*, meaning hand) and "facere" (meaning to make or do), combined with the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "manufacturable" means capable of being made by hand or through a manufacturing process.

Memory Tip

Think of 'hand' ('manu') and 'make' ('facere') to remember that 'manufacturable' refers to something that can be made by hand or through manufacturing.
