divinable

/dᵻvˈaɪnəbəl/ adj

That can be guessed.

Word Origin Divinable comes from divine, which traces back to Latin divinare 'to foresee, be inspired by a god' — and ultimately to deus 'god.' The -able suffix means 'able to be,' so divinable is 'able to be divined' or predicted. The PIE root *dyew- 'to shine' connects it to sky-gods: Jupiter (sky-father), Zeus, and even Tuesday (Tiw's day). So something divinable is open to god-like insight.

adj That can be guessed.

The outcome of the game was easily divinable from the team's performance in the first half.
