possible 可能的

来自拉丁语posse,使能够，使可能，词源同potent.-ss,过去分词格。

possible: possible: [14] Latin posse ‘be able’ (source of English posse) produced the derived adjective possibilis ‘that can be done’, which came into English via Old French possible. (Its antonym impossible reached English at roughly the same time.)
=> posse, potent
possible (adj.): mid-14c., from Old French possible and directly from Latin possibilis "that can be done," from posse "be able" (see potent).
possible (n.): 1640s, from possible (adj.).
