What does the prefix ible mean?

The prefix "ible" means capable of being or suitable for.

It is often used to form adjectives, indicating that something can be done or is possible.

Here are some examples:

* Visible: Capable of being seen

* Edible: Suitable for eating

* Flexible: Capable of being bent

* Incredible: Not capable of being believed

* Divisible: Capable of being divided

It's important to note that "ible" is often combined with other prefixes, like "in" (meaning "not") or "im" (meaning "not") to create words with opposite meanings. For example:

* Invisible: Not capable of being seen

* Inexpressible: Not capable of being expressed

The prefix "ible" is a versatile way to create new words and express complex ideas.
