Root Explanation

Quaffable → It is formed from "quaff" (from Middle English *quaffen*, meaning to drink deeply) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "quaffable" means capable of being drunk deeply or easily, often referring to a beverage that is enjoyable to drink.

Memory Tip

Think of 'quaff' as drinking deeply and 'able' as being capable — so quaffable means something that is easy and enjoyable to drink.
