Etymology
The word covetable is made of covet ('to want strongly') and the ending -able ('able to be'), so it means 'able to be wanted'. It goes back to an old Latin word meaning 'to desire', the same root as the name Cupid, which helps you remember that a covetable thing is something many people want.
