Etymology: "Fuckable" is a plain formation: the verb "fuck" plus the suffix "-able," which means "capable of being" or "worthy of" the action named by the base. Its suffix traces back through Middle English and Old French to Latin "-abilis," which gave English a large family of adjectives such as "readable" and "washable." The base verb is much older than the suffix. "Fuck" descends from a Proto-Germanic verb, "fukkōnąn," and appears in Middle English as "fukken," so the verb had long been in the language before this adjective was formed. The adjective is a later, productive combination of the two, following the same pattern as the many other "-able" words built on English verbs.
