Etymology
The word 'crossable' is a combination of the verb 'cross' and the suffix '-able'. The verb 'cross' originated from the Old English word 'crucian', meaning 'make the sign of the cross'. Over time, it evolved to mean 'go or extend across'. The suffix '-able' comes from the Latin word '-abilis', which denotes capability or capacity. Therefore, 'crossable' describes something that has the ability to be crossed or traversed.
