Root Breakdown
Root-derivedre- + mark + -able = 'able to be remarked on,' i.e. worth pointing at and commenting on. If a thing deserves a mark, it has risen above the ordinary — hence extraordinary, striking. The logic is built in: remarkable doesn't just mean good, it means notable enough that people would actually comment.
