Capitalizable

/ˈkæpɪtəlaɪzəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be capitalized; capable of being written with a capital letter or converted into investment capital.

Etymology

From capitalize plus the suffix -able. This American English spelling parallels the British 'capitalisable' in both typographic and financial contexts.

Kelly Says

In accounting, determining what's 'capitalizable' versus what's an 'expense' is absolutely crucial—a $50 office chair might be capitalizable, but the $50 coffee for the office breakroom is not, and this distinction shapes every company's financial story!
