The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear. Often misspelled as feasable or feisable.

Same family: feasibly, feasibility, possible, practical, realistic. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Feasible” comes from Old French *faisable*, from Latin *facere* meaning “to do” or “to make.” It’s a close cousin of words like “factory” and “factor,” which also come from the same Latin root for doing or making.

Patterns it uses: The unstressed vowel (schwa)
