Root Explanation

Movableness → It is formed from "move" (from Latin "movere", meaning to move) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The suffix "-ness" (meaning the state of being) is added to indicate the quality of being capable of movement. Thus, "movableness" refers to the quality or state of being able to move.

Memory Tip

Think of 'move' as the action of changing position, and '-able' means capable of doing that action. So, 'movableness' is all about the quality of being able to move.
