'priceable' originates from English, specifically formed from the base word 'price' and the suffix '-able'; 'price' ultimately comes from Latin 'pretium', where 'pretium' meant 'value, price' and the suffix '-able' derives from Latin '-abilis' meaning 'capable of'.

'price' passed into English from Old French 'pris'/'prix' and Middle English 'pris'/'price' (from Latin 'pretium'); the adjective 'priceable' was formed in Modern English by adding the productive suffix '-able' to 'price', producing the sense 'capable of being priced'.

Initially the root 'pretium' meant 'price, value' in Latin; over time the derived Modern English adjective 'priceable' has come to mean specifically 'able to be given a monetary price'.
