Morphology
tangible = tang + ible
The form is built from the combining form 'tang-' + the adjectival suffix '-ible'; meaning 'touchable' is related to English 'touch' but the morphemic form is not transparently recognisable to average learners.
Etymology
The word tangible comes from the Latin root tang- meaning 'to touch', the same idea behind the everyday word touch. So something tangible is real and almost possible to feel or clearly notice.
