Forms: Middle English–1500s medicynable, Middle English–1500s medycynable, Middle English–1600s medycinable, Middle English– medicinable, late Middle English medecynabyl, late Middle English medecynnabil, late Middle English medesynable, late Middle English medicinabel, late Middle English medicynabel, late Middle English medycynabyl, late Middle English medynable (probably transmission error), late Middle English metisynable, late Middle English–1500s medcynable, late Middle English–1600s medcinable, 1500s mdicinable (probably transmission error), 1500s medecinable, 1500s medinable (probably transmission error), 1500s mediscenable, 1500s medsonable, 1500s–1600s medicineable, 1500s– med'cinable, 1600s medcinable, 1600s medsinable, 1600s midicinable; Scottish pre-1700 medicinabyll.

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from French. Or (ii) a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French medicinable; Latin medicinabilis.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French medicinable having healing properties (c1190 in Old French; from 13th cent. also in sense ‘curable’) or its etymon post-classical Latin medicinabilis healing, medicinal (7th cent. in a British source) < classical Latin medicīna medicine n.¹ + -ābilis -able suffix.With medicinable science (see sense A. 2) compare post-classical Latin scientia medicinabilis (13th cent.), Middle French art medicinable (16th cent.). The pronunciation with stress on the first syllable, given as the only one in N.E.D.
