Identifiable comes from the Latin root identi- meaning "same" and the suffix -able, meaning "capable of."
Identifiable means capable of being identified or distinguished.
The word identifiable was first used in the early 17th century. It was originally used in a legal context to refer to something that could be identified as belonging to a particular person. Over time, the word identifiable has come to be used in a broader sense to refer to anything that can be distinguished from other things.
