There is no non-able

root word for vegetable. The closest verb is vegetate

. The Latin root is vegetabilis (living or growing like a plant).

Vegetable has several different pronunciations, most agreeing with the sound. In US English, it sometimes sounds like (VEJ-stuh-buhl).

As far as the second E often not being pronounced, it always is in the related word vegetarian. The ending is pronounced in -ble

words as bul

.
