Root Explanation

Rideable → It is formed from "ride" (from Old English *ridan*, meaning to sit on and control the movement of a horse or vehicle) and "-able" (meaning capable of being). The word "rideable" means capable of being ridden.

Memory Tip

Think of being able to 'sit on and control' something — that's what 'rideable' means, as it describes something that can be ridden.
