Appetiable

/ˈæpɪtaɪəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being desired or wanted; able to appeal to someone's appetite or desire. (Note: This appears to be a rare or archaic variant of 'appetible')

Etymology

From Latin appetibilis, from appetere (to desire), plus -able. The prefix ap- means 'to' and petere means 'to seek or strive for,' so the root literally means 'able to be sought toward.'

Kelly Says

Though rarely used today, this word captures the idea that some things are naturally designed to be wanted—beautiful art is appetiable, good food is appetiable, because they pull our desire toward them automatically.
