illustratable

/ˈɪləstɹˌeɪɾəbəl/ adj

Capable of being illustrated.

Word Origin Illustratable means able to be illustrated. The root is Latin lustrare 'to illuminate', from PIE *leuk- 'light'. So to illustrate is literally to shine light on something, to make it clear. The same root gives us luster (shine), lucid (clear), luminous (light-filled), and even elucidate (to make clear). The prefix il- is a form of in- 'into'.
