The word "possible" originates from Latin possibilis, derived from posse (to be able) + -ibilis (a suffix forming adjectives meaning "able to be"). Posse itself comes from potis (able) + esse (to be). The term entered Middle English via Old French, retaining its core meaning of "capable of occurring or being done." The morpheme -ible is a common suffix in English, often paired with Latin roots to denote feasibility (e.g., "visible," "flexible").
