Word origin

The word 'domesticable' is derived from the combination of 'domestic' and the suffix '-able', which means capable of being. The concept of domestication dates back to ancient times when humans began taming wild animals for various purposes, such as companionship, work, and agriculture. Through selective breeding and training, many wild species have become domesticable over generations, leading to the close relationship between humans and animals that we see today.
