Capable of being arraigned; subject to being formally charged and brought before a court of law.
From 'arraign' + '-able' (suffix meaning capable of). Arraign derives from Old French 'arainier', from 'a-' (to) + 'rainier' (to reason or plead), ultimately from Latin 'rationare.'
Someone's arraignability isn't automatic—it depends on factors like age, mental competency, and jurisdiction, which means the law has built-in checkpoints to prevent absurd situations like arraigning a toddler or someone legally dead.
