Alternative form of 'avertable'; capable of being averted, prevented, or turned aside.
From 'avert' + '-ible' suffix (alternate form of '-able'). The '-ible' variant comes from Latin adjectives and is less common in modern English than '-able'.
'Avertible' and 'avertable' mean the same thing, but '-ible' is the older, more Latinate form. Today most English speakers prefer '-able,' making 'avertible' sound almost antique.
