Root Explanation

Rulable → It is formed from "rule" (from Old French *reule*, meaning a principle or regulation) and "-able" (meaning capable of being). The word "rulable" means capable of being ruled or governed by a rule.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'rule' that can be 'applied' or 'governed' — that's what 'rulable' means, something that can be ruled.
