Standard adjective formation from the verb 'satisfy' meaning 'able to be satisfied'; the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Satisfiable comes from satisfy, which goes back to Latin parts satis 'enough' and facere 'to make'. So, something satisfiable is 'able to be made enough' or 'able to be fulfilled', and in logic it means it can be made 'true', while in everyday use it means it can meet the need.
