'dissolvability' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'dissolvere,' where 'dis-' meant 'apart' and 'solvere' meant 'to loosen.'

'dissolvere' transformed into the Old French word 'dissoluble,' and eventually became the modern English word 'dissolvability' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'the ability to be loosened or separated,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the ability to be dissolved.'
