The word is made up of the verb 'bemerken' (to notice) and the ending '-bar' (-able). The ending '-bar' means that something is possible. So 'bemerkbar' literally means 'bemerk-bar' (notice-able) or 'wahrnehmbar' (perceptible).

The adjective 'bemerkbar' (noticeable) is almost always used predicatively, that is, together with verbs like 'sein' (to be) or 'werden' (to become). Using it directly before a noun (attributively) is rare.
