Suitable or capable of being built upon; land or a location where construction is permitted and possible.
From 'build' (Old English 'byldan') plus the suffix '-able' (from Latin '-abilis' meaning capable of). The term became legally important in real estate and zoning vocabulary.
In real estate, 'buildable' is a magic word that multiplies land value instantly—the same acre is worth vastly more if zoning laws mark it as buildable. This single word captures the power of government regulation over economics.
