The word "portable" originates from Latin portabilis, derived from portare (to carry) + -bilis (suffix indicating capability). The root port- appears in many English words related to carrying or movement (e.g., "transport," "export"). The suffix -able (from Latin -abilis) denotes adaptability or feasibility. Over time, "portable" evolved to describe objects designed for easy transport, later extending to technology (e.g., "portable software").
