Etymology

The word 'ascendable' is a derivative of the verb 'ascend' which comes from the Latin word 'ascendere', meaning 'to climb up'. The suffix '-able' is added to 'ascend' to form 'ascendable', indicating the ability or possibility of climbing or rising. The term has been used in English language to describe objects or surfaces that can be climbed or risen on since the late 19th century.
