Etymology
The word 'upgradable' is a combination of 'upgrade' and the suffix '-able', which indicates capability or capacity. The term originated in the late 20th century with the rise of technology and the concept of improving existing systems rather than replacing them entirely. As technology continues to evolve, the idea of upgradability remains crucial in ensuring devices can adapt to new advancements.
