I really like this new exercise routine I found.

Yeah, I can do it every day without getting bored.

Root Explanation

Repeatable → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "petere" (meaning to seek or request) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "repeatable" means capable of being sought or done again.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') and being 'able' to 'seek' it ('petere') — that's why repeatable means something that can be done again.
