severable

/sˈɛvɚɹəbəl/ adj

Capable of being separated.

Word Origin Severable means able to be severed — from sever, which comes from Latin 'separare' 'to separate, divide.' The word sever is actually a back-formation from several, which originally meant 'separate, distinct.' The same root gives us separate, separation, and several (originally 'separate ones'). The breakdown sever+able shows the suffix.
