Root Explanation

Processable → It is formed from "process" (from Latin "processus", meaning a series of actions or steps) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "processable" means capable of being processed or able to undergo a series of actions.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'capable of undergoing a series of actions' — 'process' refers to the steps involved, and '-able' means it can be done.
