Often Confused With
Capable refers to having the ability to do something, while obcapible refers to something being able to be understood or perceived.
Usage Notes
This is a highly formal and rare term, primarily found in advanced linguistic tests or archaic philosophical texts. In modern English, 'perceptible' or 'discernible' are much more common.
Common Mistakes
Learners often use this to mean 'talented' because of its similarity to 'capable', but it actually describes the object being observed, not the person doing the observing.
Memory Tip
Think of 'ob-' (as in object) and 'capable'. If an object is 'obcapible', your brain is 'capable' of catching or perceiving it.
Word Origin
From the Latin 'ob-' (toward/against) and 'capere' (to take or seize), literally meaning 'able to be taken hold of' by the mind.
