Definition
Able to be fertilized or capable of receiving fertilizer treatment to improve fertility or growth.
Etymology
British spelling of 'fertilizable,' from Latin fertilis (fruitful) + French -able (capable of being). The '-ise' ending reflects British English convention from French influence.
Kelly Says
The existence of this word shows how European agriculture developed differently—British English kept the French '-ise' while American English preferred the Greek '-ize,' reflecting centuries of different scientific traditions.
