Etymology: "Gaugeable" is simply "gauge" with the suffix "-able" added, meaning something that can be gauged, measured or assessed. The base word "gauge" entered English from Anglo-Norman and Old French "gauger", which referred to measuring the capacity of a cask or vessel, and the "-able" ending comes from Latin "-abilis", through French, meaning "capable of being". Put together, the word describes a quality that a thing possesses, namely that it lends itself to measurement.
