Word origin

The word 'performable' is a combination of the word 'perform' and the suffix '-able', which means 'capable of'. The term originated in the late 16th century to describe something that is capable of being performed or carried out. Over time, 'performable' has been commonly used in theatrical settings to refer to acts or plays that can be executed on stage. It has also found its place in general contexts to express the feasibility or achievability of certain tasks or goals.
