Etymology: "Taggable" is a plain formation: the noun "tag" with the suffix "-able," which turns a noun or verb into an adjective meaning "able to be" or "suitable for" the action or thing named. Here, that means something that can be marked with a tag, in the sense of a label or identifying mark attached to an object or piece of information. The more interesting part is the base word. "Tag" as a noun for a small attached label or marker is the older sense, and its use for digital metadata grew out of that physical meaning. The modern computing and web sense of tagging content with keywords is what makes "taggable" common today, since it describes items that can accept such keywords, such as photos, posts, or files.
