Root Explanation

Runnable → It is formed from "run" (from Old English "rinnan", meaning to flow or run) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "runnable" means capable of being run or executed.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'capable of running' — 'run' means to flow or move, and '-able' indicates the ability to do so.
