Root Explanation

Updatable → It is formed from "up" (meaning higher or increased) and "date" (from Latin "data", meaning something given or a specific point in time) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "updatable" means capable of being updated or made more current.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be made 'higher' or 'more current' — 'up' means higher, 'date' refers to a specific time, and '-able' means capable of.
