Awakenable

/əˈweɪkənəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being awakened; able to be made aware, conscious, or aroused from a dormant state.

Etymology

From 'awaken' (the causative form of 'awake') plus '-able,' making it slightly different from 'awakable' in that it emphasizes the causing or helping someone else to awaken rather than being naturally arousable.

Kelly Says

This word is even rarer than 'awakable,' but it's actually useful in contexts like spiritual writing or psychology where you want to describe people as 'awakenable' to their potential!
