Acquisible

/ækˈwɪzəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being acquired or obtained; the same as acquirable, though less commonly used.

Etymology

From Latin acquirere plus -ible suffix (variant of -able, often used in more formal or archaic contexts).

Kelly Says

This is the fancier, Latinate version of 'acquirable'—English lovers of formality preferred -ible endings, making this word sound more important than its -able cousin.
