Conveyable

/kənˈveɪəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being conveyed, transported, communicated, or transferred from one point to another.

Etymology

From 'convey' plus '-able' (capable of). Convey derives from Old French 'convoier,' from Latin 'con-' (with) and 'via' (way), originally meaning 'to travel with or escort.'

Kelly Says

In law, 'conveyable' refers to property that can legally be transferred—the concept matters because some things (like inheritances or certain rights) might technically exist but not be conveyable, making them legally useless.
