Etymology

The word 'sizable' originated in the early 19th century from a combination of the word 'size' and the suffix '-able.' The root 'size' comes from the Old French word 'sise' meaning 'size, dimension, or measurement,' which itself derives from the Latin 'sized,' meaning 'to take or seize.' The suffix '-able' denotes the ability or capacity to be done. Thus, 'sizable' emerged as a descriptor that conveys the ability to be measured in a way that signifies largeness or importance. Over time, 'sizable' has been adopted in various contexts, especially in informal and colloquial language, to depict amounts or dimensions that are notably above average, allowing for nuanced descriptions in everyday vernacular.
