Bookable

/ˈbʊkəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be reserved or booked in advance, as in making a reservation for a hotel, restaurant, or performer.

Etymology

From the verb 'book' (to reserve) plus the suffix '-able' (able to be). 'Book' comes from Old English 'bōc,' originally a written document.

Kelly Says

The word 'bookable' exploded with the internet—before online booking sites, you had to call restaurants and hotels directly, making the concept of 'bookable' almost invisible in everyday language.
