This is not an opaque word to be memorised; it is (to marvel) plus --, the suffix meaning worthy of. So is literally worth marvelling at, and once you see the pattern you get a whole shelf free: a believable, a worth reading, a lovable, regrettable. That last one is common enough that learners meet it before they meet the suffix. Note the adverb e, which is doing the same job as English wonderfully - and, dropped in on its own, works as a dry one-word reaction.
