Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro The adjective is derived from Late Middle English potable (drinkable, potable), from Middle French -, Old French potable (modern potable), and from its etymon pōtābilis (drinkable, potable), from Latin pōtāre (to drink) + -bilis. Pōtāre is the present active infinitive of pōtō (to drink), from Proto-Italic *pōtos, from Proto-Indo-European *peh₃- (to drink).
