drainable

/dɹˈeɪnəbəl/ adj

Capable of being drained.

Word Origin From Proto-Germanic *draugōną 'to dry, drain' — drainable is 'able to be drained.' The root is from PIE *dʰrewgʰ- 'to dry, harden,' which also gives us dry, drought, and drug (originally a dried herb). The Latin suffix -able was added to the Germanic root, a hybrid word. The same root appears in dreary (originally 'bloody, gory' from dried blood? Actually dreary from Old English drēorig 'bloody, sad' from drēor 'blood,' possibly from *dʰrewgʰ- 'to fall, drip' — a different sense).
