scrutable
UK: /ˈskruːtəb(ə)l/ | US: /ˈskruːtəb(ə)l/
adj. capable of being understood or deciphered; comprehensible
The word "scrutable" derives from the Latin root scrutari ("to examine"), combined with the suffix -able (indicating capability). The root scrut- appears in related words like "scrutiny" (close examination) and "inscrutable" (impossible to understand). Over time, "scrutable" evolved to describe something that can be examined or understood, contrasting with its more common antonym "inscrutable." The logical progression reflects the Latin emphasis on investigation and clarity.
