'fixable' originates from the Latin word 'fixus,' meaning 'fastened' or 'attached,' combined with the English suffix '-able,' indicating capability.

'fixus' transformed into the Old French word 'fixer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'fix' with the addition of '-able' to form 'fixable.'

Initially, it meant 'capable of being fastened,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'capable of being repaired.'
