Etymology
The word 'singable' originated in the early 20th century as a combination of the base word 'sing' and the suffix '-able,' which denotes capability. 'Sing' itself comes from the Old English word 'singan,' meaning to produce musical sounds with the voice. The suffix '-able' is derived from the Latin '-abilis,' meaning 'capable of' or 'fit for.' Together, 'singable' reflects the idea of something that is suitable for singing. Over time, the word has been used in various contexts, particularly in music to describe melodies that are easy and enjoyable to perform. Its usage has increased in contemporary music reviews and discussions about songwriting, emphasizing the importance of accessibility in musical composition.
