Able to be reached, touched, or contacted; within reach or accessible.
From Middle English 'rechen' (to reach), from Old English 'rǽcan.' The suffix '-able' means 'capable of being,' so 'reachable' means 'capable of being reached.'
In our digital age, 'reachable' now often means accessible by phone or email rather than physically near—the word's meaning expanded with technology!
