Attachable

/əˈtætʃəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be attached, fastened, or connected to something else.

Etymology

From attach (from Old French 'atacher,' to fasten) + '-able' (able to be), creating an adjective meaning 'capable of being attached.'

Kelly Says

In our digital age, 'attachable' has taken on new life—'attachments' to emails didn't exist 40 years ago, but the old French word for 'fastening' perfectly described the concept when the technology arrived.
