Carriable

/ˈkæriəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be carried or transported from one place to another.

Etymology

From the verb 'carry' (from Old Norse kerra via Old French carier) plus the suffix '-able' (from Latin habilis meaning 'able' or 'capable').

Kelly Says

The '-able' suffix is one of English's most productive word-building tools—you can attach it to almost any verb to instantly create an adjective, which is why you can say something is 'carriable,' 'stackable,' or even 'Googable,' even if those words aren't in the dictionary yet.
