adj. large or significant enough to be noticed or measured
adj. capable of being appreciated or valued
The word "appreciable" stems from the Latin appretiare (to appraise or value), combining ad- (toward) + pretium (price). The root "appreci" evolved in English to mean recognizing worth or significance, while the suffix "-able" denotes capability. Over time, "appreciable" came to describe something perceptible or measurable in value or quantity, reflecting its dual roots in valuation and potential.
