It reminds me of "tenable" as in the opposite of "untenable", so basically something that is doable or possible. Also makes me think of "tending my garden" so perhaps its some sort of protective thing.

It's tend-able not ten-able. I thought the same when I first read this too. Tend to as taking care of business
