Derived from the Latin adjective verus meaning 'true' or 'real', combined with the verb verify (meaning 'to confirm' or 'to establish as true') and the suffix -able (meaning 'capable of' or 'worthy of'). The word emerged in English to describe something that can be confirmed or validated as true.
Breakdown
verify (from Latin verus, 'true') + -able (suffix meaning 'capable of' or 'able to be'). The morpheme breakdown shows the root concept of truth combined with the productive English suffix indicating possibility or capacity.
