Word origin
The word 'amendable' originates from the Latin word 'emendare', which means 'to free from fault'. The term has been used in English since the mid-17th century, primarily in legal contexts to refer to the ability to correct or modify agreements, laws, or documents. Over time, the usage has expanded to include a more general sense of being open to change or improvement.
