Root Explanation

Promotable → It is formed from "promote" (from Latin "promovere", meaning to move forward or advance) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of or suitable for). The word "promotable" means capable of being advanced or moved forward in a position or rank.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'capable of being advanced' — 'promote' means to move forward, and '-able' means suitable for that action.
