Etymology: "Roastable" is about as plain as English etymology gets: it is "roast" with the suffix "-able" attached. "Roast" comes from Old French "rostir," itself from a Germanic source related to the idea of cooking meat over a fire, and "-able" comes from Latin through French, meaning "able to be" or "suitable for." Put together, the adjective means something that can be roasted, or, in the modern sense, something worth roasting in the sense of being mocked or criticized harshly.
