AccessABLE

Why on earth is accessible spelled with an ‘I’? I can’t fathom why, and I hope some really smart person who understands word etymology reads this. They probably won’t, but at least I’ll feel better by throwing up this Internet Hail Mary.

I would think that it should be accessable, not accessible. Why must things that are *able* to be accessed be described by a word that makes little sense to me? Bleh.
