Capable of being abdicated or renounced, usually referring to a throne, title, or responsibility.
From Latin 'abdicare' (to disown, renounce) combined with the English suffix '-able' (capable of). The Latin root combines 'ab-' (away) and 'dicare' (to proclaim or dedicate).
The fact that we need a word like 'abdicable' reveals something about how monarchy evolved—medieval kings couldn't abdicate (the throne was considered sacred), but by the early modern period, abdication became possible, so language had to catch up with changing political reality.
