Etymology
The word 'catalogable' is derived from the noun 'catalog', which has its origins in the early 15th century from the Greek word 'katalogos', meaning 'a register'. The suffix '-able' is added to 'catalog' to create 'catalogable', indicating the ability to be cataloged. The concept of cataloging has evolved over time with the development of libraries, information organization systems, and digital databases.
