Capable of being converted into or made acidic; able to be acidified through a chemical process.
From 'acidify' (to make acidic) plus the suffix '-able' (capable of being). The term developed in chemical terminology to describe substances that can undergo acidification.
In chemistry, many bases and neutral compounds are 'acidifiable'—meaning you can add acid to them and they'll become acidic, which is a key concept in understanding chemical reactions.
