Root Explanation

Warrantableness → It is formed from "warrant" (from Old French *garant*, meaning to guarantee or secure) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of) combined with "-ness" (meaning the state of). The word "warrantableness" refers to the state of being capable of being guaranteed or justified.

Memory Tip

Think of 'warrant' as something that guarantees or secures, and when you add '-able' it means capable of being guaranteed, plus '-ness' which indicates a state. This helps you remember that 'warrantableness' is about the state of being able to be guaranteed.
