Root Explanation

Presentably → It is formed from "present" (from Latin "praesentare", meaning to show or to place before) and "-ably" (meaning in a manner that can be). The word "presentably" means in a manner that can be shown or displayed well.

Memory Tip

Think of 'present' as showing something well, and '-ably' means in a way that can be done. So, presentably means to show something in a way that is acceptable or good.
