Choosable

/ˈtʃuːzəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being chosen or able to be selected from multiple options.

Etymology

From 'choose' (Old English 'ceosan') plus the suffix '-able,' which comes from Latin and means 'capable of being.'

Kelly Says

The '-able' suffix is so powerful in English that you can attach it to almost any verb to create an adjective—'readable,' 'doable,' 'choosable'—which is why English speakers can understand brand-new words they've never heard before!
