💡 Memory Tip
Break it down: MODIFY + ABLE. If you can MODIFY something, it is MODIFIABLE. Think of 'modify' as the action and '-able' as the permission slip — it is 'able' to be modified!
Picture a clay sculpture on a potter's wheel — it can be pushed, shaped, and reshaped at will. The soft, spinning clay represents something 'modifiable': always ready to be changed into a new form by the hands of its maker.

📖 Etymology
Origin: Latin via French "modificare" — to limit, restrain, or alter in form
First known use: 17th century
Derived from Latin 'modificare' (to set bounds to), composed of 'modus' (measure, manner) and 'facere' (to make). Passed through Old French 'modifier' into English. The suffix '-able' was added in English to form the adjective meaning 'capable of being modified'. The word entered formal English usage in the 17th century and became especially prominent in scientific and legal discourse.
