supposable

/səpˈoʊzəbəl/ adj

Capable of being supposed; imaginable

Word Origin From Latin supponere, literally 'to put under' — sub- 'under' + ponere 'to place.' To suppose is to place an idea under consideration, to assume. Supposable means 'able to be supposed.' The root ponere gives us position, compose (put together), oppose (put against), and deposit (put down). So supposable is literally 'able to be put under.'
