practicable
UK: ˈpræktɪkəbl | US: ˈpræktɪkəbl
adj. capable of being put into practice; feasible
adj. usable or functional in real-world conditions
The word "practicable" combines "practic" (from Latin practicus, meaning "practical" or "pertaining to action") and the suffix "-able" (from Latin -abilis, indicating capability). The root traces back to Greek praktikos (practical), derived from prassein (to do or act). Over time, "practicable" evolved to describe something that can be effectively carried out or implemented, emphasizing feasibility over mere theoretical possibility.
