Comprehendible derives from the Latin verb comprehendere meaning "to grasp or understand". It is composed of the prefix com-, meaning "together", and prehendere, meaning "to take".
Comprehendible means capable of being understood or grasped by the mind. It refers to something that is intelligible, clear, and easy to follow.
The word comprehensible first appeared in the English language in the 14th century, borrowed from the Latin comprehendere. The Latin verb itself has its roots in the Proto-Indo-European verb *ghen-, meaning "to seize or take".
