Brit.

/kəmˈpjuːtəbl/, U.S.

/kəmˈpjudəb(ə)l/

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or (ii) formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin computābilis ; compute v., -able suffix.

Etymology: Either < classical Latin computābilis calculable ( < computāre compute v. + -bilis -ble suffix), or < compute v. + -able suffix.

Capable of being computed, calculable; solvable or decidable by (electronic) computation.
