Furnishable

/ˈfɜrnɪʃəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being furnished, equipped, or outfitted with furniture, supplies, or necessary items.

Etymology

From furnish (Old French fournir meaning 'to provide') + -able (Latin -abilis indicating capability), meaning 'able to be furnished or outfitted.'

Kelly Says

The suffix -able is one of English's superpowers—once you understand it, you can guess the meaning of hundreds of words you've never seen before, and furnishable is a perfect example of how productive this pattern is.
