Able to be comforted or soothed when sad, upset, or grieving.
From 'console' (to comfort) plus the -able suffix. 'Console' comes from Latin 'consolari' (to comfort), from 'com-' (together) and 'solari' (to soothe).
The opposite of 'inconsolable' is consolable—some sorrows yield to time and kindness, while others seem infinite, which is why people still use both words a thousand years after they were born.
