'anatomisable' originates from English, formed from 'anatomize' (to dissect) plus the suffix '-able', meaning 'capable of'. 'Anatomize' itself comes from 'anatomy', which is from Greek 'anatome' meaning 'dissection'.

'anatomisable' was formed in English by adding '-able' to 'anatomize', following the pattern of forming adjectives meaning 'capable of being [verb]ed'.

Initially, it meant 'capable of being dissected', and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage, sometimes extended to mean 'capable of being analyzed in detail'.
