Able \A"ble\, v. t. [See {Able}, a.] [Obs.]
1. To make able; to enable; to strengthen. --Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]

2. To vouch for. "I 'll able them." --Shak.
[1913 Webster]


-able \-a*ble\ (-[.a]*b'l). [F. -able, L. -abilis.]
An adjective suffix now usually in a passive sense; able to
be; fit to be; expressing capacity or worthiness in a passive
sense; as, movable, able to be moved; amendable, able to be
amended; blamable, fit to be blamed; salable.
[1913 Webster]

Note: The form {-ible} is used in the same sense.
[1913 Webster]

Note: It is difficult to say when we are not to use -able
instead of -ible. "Yet a rule may be laid down as to
when we are to use it. To all verbs, then, from the
Anglo-Saxon, to all based on the uncorrupted
infinitival stems of Latin verbs of the first
conjugation, and to all substantives, whencesoever
sprung, we annex -able only." --Fitzed. Hall.
[1913 Webster]
