Word origin

The word 'initiable' is a modern term primarily used in the field of computing. It derives from the verb 'initialize', which originated in the mid-19th century from the prefix 'in-' (meaning 'into' or 'within') and the word 'itialis' (meaning 'beginning'). The concept of initialization has been essential in computer programming, referring to the process of setting variables to an initial value before they are used. The adjective 'initiable' was likely coined to describe the capability of being initialized or started within a technological context.
