The root syllable 'pos-' is a contracted form of the adjective 'potis'. The adjective is the actual root word. The root syllable is its shortened form. Either way the meaning is capable.

To be able is the English equivalent of the Latin root 'pos-'. A Latin derivative of the Latin root is the infinitive 'posse', which means 'to be'. An English derivative is the adjective 'possible'.
