Morphology
feasible = feas + ible
The stem 'feas-' is a non‑transparent combining form (not a standalone English word), so learners cannot reliably derive 'feasible' from known English components despite the productive suffix '-ible'.
Etymology
Feasible comes from the Latin root fac- meaning 'to make' or 'do', the same root you see in factory, a place that makes things. So, if something is feasible, it is 'able to be made' or done, which is why the word means 'possible to do'.
