-ible
the form of the suffix -ble, representing L. -ĭbilis, formed from Latin consonantal stems (verbal or participial) and some e-stems, and -ībilis from i-stems; as leg-ible, poss-ible, vis-ible, flex-ible, permiss-ible, terr-ible, aud-ible. Often displaced by -able in words that have come through French, or that are looked upon as formed immediately on an Eng. verb. as refer-able, ten-able, readmitt-able, convert-able, divid-able. |
