'registrable' originates from the Latin word 'registrare,' where 'reg-' meant 'rule' and 'strāre' meant 'to make stand.'

'registrare' transformed into the Old French word 'registrer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'register,' from which 'registrable' is derived.

Initially, it meant 'to record or enroll,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
