Etymology

The French adjective *compréhensible* comes directly from Latin *comprehensibilis*, the passive form of *comprehendere* (“to grasp, seize, understand”), itself a combination of *com-* (“with, together”) and *prehendere* (“to grasp”). Through Old French *comprehensible*, the word retained the same sense of being able to be grasped by the mind. The modern form preserves this Latin heritage, with the suffix *‑able* marking it as an adjective denoting capability.
