Root Explanation

Suggestible → It is formed from "suggest" (from Latin "suggerere", meaning to bring to mind or to hint) and "-ible" (meaning capable of or susceptible to). The word "suggestible" means capable of being influenced or easily led to a suggestion.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'capable of' ('-ible') being 'hinted at' or 'brought to mind' ('suggest') — that's why suggestible means easily influenced.
