The word "workable" combines "work" (from Old English weorc, meaning "physical or mental effort") with the suffix "-able" (from Latin -abilis, indicating capacity or suitability). The fusion reflects the concept of something being malleable or achievable through labor. Over time, it expanded from literal shaping (e.g., materials) to abstract feasibility (e.g., plans).
