Etymology
'analysable' originates from English, specifically from the word 'analyse' plus the suffix '-able', where 'analyse' meant 'to examine in detail' and '-able' meant 'capable of'.
'analyse' comes from French 'analyser', which in turn comes from Medieval Latin 'analysare', based on Greek 'analusis' meaning 'a breaking up'. The suffix '-able' is from Latin '-abilis', meaning 'capable of'.
Initially, it meant 'capable of being analysed', and this meaning has remained unchanged in modern usage.
