Cessible

/ˈsɛsəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being ceded, given up, or transferred from one party to another, especially in legal contexts.

Etymology

From Latin 'cedere' meaning to yield or give way, combined with '-ible' (capable of). This legal adjective describes property or rights that can be transferred.

Kelly Says

If something is 'cessible,' it means nobody owns it so completely that they can't hand it off—it's the opposite of inalienable, proving that some rights are meant to circulate!
