Answer:

Suffixes – ABLE (– IBLE)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suffixes – ABLE (– IBLE) = productive, originate from Latin. Usually join to the verb and have two main meanings. Knowing the verb and the meaning of these suffixes can easily be guessed about the meaning of the adjective. Often used with a negative prefix.
