Root Explanation

Sizable → It is formed from "size" (from Old French *size*, meaning dimension or extent) and "-able" (meaning capable of or suitable for). The word "sizable" means capable of being measured or having a considerable size.

Memory Tip

Think of 'size' as a way to measure something, and '-able' means it can be done. So, sizable means something that can be measured as considerable.
