Able to be expressed, explained, or stated clearly in words.
From Latin 'articulatus' (jointed, distinct) plus the suffix '-able' (capable of). The meaning evolved from describing things with distinct joints to describing speech or ideas that have clear, distinct expression.
A good lawyer needs to make sure their case is articulable—meaning they can explain their argument clearly enough that a judge actually understands it!
