Etymology: Its core is "correct," which comes from Latin "corrigere," meaning "to make straight" or "set right." That verb combined "com-," an intensifying prefix, with "regere," "to rule or guide," so the original sense was closer to thoroughly guiding something back into line. Through Old French and the past participle "correctus," the root reached English as "correct," which first meant "set right" or "amended" before it came to mean "free from error." The ending "-able," from Latin "-abilis," marks something capable of being acted on, so "correctable" means able to be set right. Adding the adverbial ending "-ly," from Old English "-lice," turns it into "correctably," describing how something can be fixed.
