explicable
UK: /ɪkˈsplɪkəb(ə)l/ | US: /ɪkˈsplɪkəb(ə)l/
adj. capable of being explained or understood
The word "explicable" traces back to Latin explicabilis, derived from explicare ("to unfold, explain"). The morpheme ex- means "out," plic- (from plicare) means "to fold," and -able indicates capability. Literally, it suggests something that can be "unfolded" or laid out clearly—hence, "explainable." Over time, the metaphorical sense of "unfolding" evolved into the modern meaning of logical clarity.
