Etymology
Determinable comes from determine plus the ending -able. The root determine comes from Latin parts de- and terminus, where terminus means 'boundary' or 'end' and is the same root in term and terminal. So something determinable is 'able to be' given a clear limit or 'able to be' exactly found.
