feasibility = feas<doable> + ibility<noun suffix indicating capacity>
- feas (from Old French faisable, meaning "doable" or "capable of being done," derived from Latin facere "to make/do")
- ibility (noun-forming suffix from Latin -ibilitas, indicating "capacity" or "quality of being")
Etymology Origin:
The word traces back to Latin facere ("to do/make"), which evolved into Old French faisable ("doable"). The suffix -ibility was later added to form feasibility, emphasizing the capacity for something to be accomplished. The term reflects a logical progression from action (facere) to potential (-ibility), capturing the essence of practicality.
