Root Explanation

Temptable is formed from "tempt" (from Latin "temptare", meaning to try or test) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "temptable" refers to something that is capable of being tried or tested, often in the context of being enticed or lured into a particular action.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'capable of being tried' or 'tested' — 'tempt' means to try, and '-able' means capable. This helps you remember that 'temptable' refers to something that can be tempted.
