Capable of being transformed into a gel; able to form a gel-like solid substance.
From 'gel' (from Latin 'gelare', to freeze) + '-able' (suffix meaning capable of). The modern term 'gel' emerged in the 1800s from the Latin root, and '-able' is a productive suffix in English.
The word 'gel' is brilliantly named—it literally comes from the Latin word meaning 'to freeze,' even though gels aren't frozen; they're just thick enough that they act somewhat solid while still being mostly liquid.
