英文词源

feasible
feasible: [15] Something that is feasible is literally something ‘that can be done’. The word was borrowed from French faisable, a derivative of the stem of the verb faire ‘do, make’. This is the French descendant of Latin facere, which has contributed so voluminously to English vocabulary, from fact to difficult.
=> difficult, fact, factory, fashion, feat, feature
feasible (adj.)
"capable of being done, accomplished or carried out," mid-15c., from Anglo-French faisible, from Old French faisable "possible, that may be done; easy, convenient," from fais-, stem of faire "do, make," from Latin facere "to make, do, perform" (see factitious). Fowler recommends this word only for those "who feel that the use of an ordinary word for an ordinary notion does not do justice to their vocabulary or sufficiently exhibit their cultivation."
