Did you know that some features in the app are maskable?

Really? That sounds interesting!

Root Explanation

Maskable → It is formed from "mask" (from Old French *masque*, meaning a covering for the face) and "-able" (meaning capable of being). The word "maskable" means capable of being masked or covered.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'mask' that covers something, and '-able' means it can be done. So, something that is 'maskable' can be covered.
