Etymology
'analyzable' originates from English, specifically from the verb 'analyze' with the suffix '-able', where 'analyze' meant 'to examine in detail' and '-able' meant 'capable of'.
'analyze' comes from the French word 'analyser', which in turn comes from the Greek word 'analyein', meaning 'to loosen up' or 'to break up'. The suffix '-able' was added in English to form 'analyzable'.
Initially, it meant 'capable of being analyzed', and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
