Etymologie (Engels)

Overgenomen van Middelengels: able

In summary

From Middle English able, from Old Northern French able, variant of Old French abile, habile, from Latin habilis (“easily managed, held, or handled; apt; skillful”), from habeō (“have, possess”) + -ibilis.
Broadly ousted the native Old English magan, which has taken a different meaning.
