Root Explanation

Recordable → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "cordare" (meaning to remember) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "recordable" means capable of being remembered or captured again.

Memory Tip

Think of being able to 'remember again' ('re-' means again and 'cordare' means to remember) — that's why something that is recordable can be captured or noted down.
