Consentable

/kənˈsɛntəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being consented to; able to receive consent; permissible or worthy of agreement.

Etymology

From 'consent' plus '-able,' a suffix meaning 'capable of' or 'worthy of,' creating an adjective indicating something that can receive or warrant consent.

Kelly Says

An idea being 'consentable' is different from being right—it just means people could reasonably agree to it, which is why democracies need consentable laws that people can actually accept.
