Word origin

The word 'correctable' originated from the verb 'correct' in the late 15th century. It is formed by adding the suffix '-able' to the base word 'correct', which comes from the Latin word 'corrigere', meaning 'to make straight, set right'. Over time, 'correctable' has become commonly used in various fields, especially in education and technology, to describe something that is capable of being rectified or amended.
