The word "measurable" combines the root "measure," derived from Latin mensura (via Old French mesure), meaning "to quantify," with the suffix "-able," from Latin -abilis, indicating capability. The fusion reflects the concept of something being quantifiable or assessable. Over time, "measurable" evolved to describe not just physical dimensions but also abstract qualities (e.g., "measurable progress").
