Word Origin & Etymology
In its modern commercial and technical senses, the word is formed in English from the verb 'import' and the suffix '-able'. In its obsolete sense meaning 'unbearable', it derives via Middle French from Late Latin 'importabilis' ('not able to be borne'), from 'in-' ('not') and 'portare' ('to carry').
