Definition
Capable of being congested; able to become blocked, filled, or crowded.
Etymology
From congest plus the suffix -ible (meaning 'capable of'), following the productive English pattern of adding -able/-ible to verbs to form adjectives.
Kelly Says
Airways are highly congestible—that's why colds cause congestion so quickly—while highways are congestible by nature during peak hours; the word reminds us which systems are vulnerable to overcrowding.
