Capable of being ground or crushed into smaller pieces or powder.
From the verb 'grind' (Old English 'grindan,' meaning to crush or pulverize) combined with the suffix '-able' (capable of being). The suffix dates back to Latin 'habilis,' and creates adjectives describing what can be done to something.
The word 'grindable' is essential for grain farmers and coffee roasters—they need to know which seeds, beans, or minerals are grindable, which is why this practical adjective has been in use for centuries.
