The suffix -ableis comes from Latin and is used to transform a verb or noun into an adjective. -able words usually convey the idea of capability, possibility, or suitability.
When adding -able to a base word, it is essential to understand what spelling changes that may occur. If the base word ends in an e, it is dropped before adding -able, for example believe becomes believable. If the base word ends in a vowel followed by a consonant, the consonant is usually doubled, for example regret becomes regrettable.
