Root Explanation

Relievable → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "levare" (meaning to lift or alleviate) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "relievable" means capable of being lifted or alleviated again, often referring to pain or distress that can be eased.

Memory Tip

Think of 'lifting' ('levare') something 'again' ('re-') — that's why relievable means something that can be alleviated or eased.
