Clubbable

/ˈklʌbəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Friendly, sociable, and suitable for membership in clubs or social groups.

Etymology

From 'club' plus the suffix '-able,' with the doubled 'b' following English doubling rules when adding suffixes to short verbs (club → clubbed → clubbable).

Kelly Says

This is why 'clubbable' has two b's—when you add a suffix to a short word ending in a single consonant, you double it (like stop → stopped). It's English's way of keeping pronunciation consistent.
