Word origin
The word 'recoupable' originates from the verb 'recoup', which entered the English language in the early 17th century from French 'recouper', meaning 'to cut back'. Over time, 'recoup' evolved to mean 'to regain or recover'. The suffix '-able' was added to form the adjective 'recoupable', indicating the ability to be recovered or compensated for. In legal contexts, 'recoupable' is commonly used to describe expenses or damages that can be regained or reimbursed.
