Customable

/ˈkʌstəməbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be customized or modified according to individual preferences or needs.

Etymology

From 'custom' (something done regularly or according to preference) plus the suffix '-able' (capable of being). This modern formation reflects the rise of consumer choice and personalization in the 20th-21st centuries.

Kelly Says

The word 'customable' is actually rarely used—modern tech companies prefer 'customizable,' which sounds more technical and sophisticated, even though both mean exactly the same thing, showing how subtle word choices shape brand perception!
