Capable of being caught; able to be seized, captured, or intercepted.
From catch (verb, from Old English 'kecchen') + '-able' suffix meaning 'capable of being.' The '-able' suffix comes from Latin 'habilis.'
While 'catchable' sounds simple, it's actually interesting because not everything that exists is catchable—the word implies possibility and potential, which is why it's used in sports (catchable pass) and epidemiology (catchable disease) to mean something realistic to grab or stop.
