trainable
訓練可能
解説 Definition
訓練または教化が可能な。動物や人を指導または教えることができる性質や能力を指します。
If something is trainable, it can be taught to do a skill or improve through practice or instruction. This word is often used for animals, people, and systems such as AI models. It suggests that learning is possible, even if it may take time and effort.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
train + -able で「訓練できる」。まず -able が付くと「〜可能な」と読める形を、readable / washable / breakable とセットで覚えると、初見でも意味を組み立てやすい。train は「電車」ではなく「練習させる・しつける」のほうを固定。a trainable dog, highly trainable staff のように、人や動物の“教えれば伸びる性質”に使う。trained は「もう訓練済み」、trainable は「訓練が入る余地がある」。untrainable との対比も有効。
Break it into `train + -able`. The ending `-able` often means "can be," like in `readable` or `washable`, so `trainable` is easy to build in your head. Remember that `train` here means teaching or practice, not the railway train. Compare `trainable` with `trained`: one can still be taught, the other has already been taught.

trainable の語源・成り立ち Etymology
trainable は train「訓練する」に -able「できる」が付いた形です。train は古フランス語 trainer「引っぱる」を経てラテン語 trahere「引く」にさかのぼり、人を一定の方向へ導けることから「訓練可能」になりました。関連語は attract, tract。
Trainable is made from train and the suffix -able, meaning "able to be." Train comes through Old French trainer, "to pull" or "draw along," from Latin trahere, "to draw." The idea moved from physically pulling something in a direction to guiding a person or animal into a skill or habit. Related English words from the same Latin root include attract and tract.
