Able to be transported or moved in a cart; suitable for carrying or conveying.
From 'cart' (Old Norse 'kartr,' from Latin 'carrus') plus the suffix '-able' (from Latin '-abilis,' meaning capable or worthy); an adjective meaning 'capable of being carted.'
The suffix '-able' is one of English's most productive tools for creating adjectives—'cartable' shows how we can add it to almost any verb to ask 'can this be done?' It's like a linguistic shortcut!
