Word origin

The word 'enumerable' originated from the Latin word 'enumerabilis' which means 'able to be counted'. It first appeared in the English language in the early 15th century. Over time, its usage expanded to include both literal counting aspects as well as more abstract meanings related to visibility and noticeability.
