Etymology
The word 'discoverable' is derived from the verb 'discover', which comes from the Old French word 'descovrir', meaning 'uncover, unroof, unveil, reveal'. The prefix 'dis-' implies the reversal or removal of the action, while 'cover' suggests the act of concealing. The suffix '-able' indicates the capability or possibility of the action. Therefore, 'discoverable' embodies the idea of something that can be uncovered, revealed, or accessed.
