Consignable

/kənˈsaɪnəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be consigned; suitable for handing over to another person or for sending somewhere.

Etymology

From consign + -able (capable of being). The -able suffix turns verbs into adjectives meaning 'capable of' or 'worthy of'.

Kelly Says

This is a practical business term that doesn't show up much anymore because modern commerce uses more specific words like 'shippable' or 'transferable'.
