Carryable

/ˈkæriəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be carried; light or small enough to transport by hand.

Etymology

From Middle English 'carien' (from Old Norse kerra and Old French carier) combined with the suffix '-able' (from Latin habilis, meaning 'capable').

Kelly Says

Though 'carryable' and 'carriable' seem identical, 'carryable' with double-r is more common in modern English, showing how spelling preferences shift—both are correct, but one version wins out through repetition and habit.
