Convictible

/kənˈvɪktɪbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be convicted or capable of being proven guilty in a legal proceeding; synonymous with 'convictable.'

Etymology

From 'convict' plus the suffix '-ible' (capable of being). This is a variant spelling of 'convictable' with the alternative suffix '-ible,' which comes from Latin.

Kelly Says

Both 'convictable' and 'convictible' exist, but 'convictable' is more common—it's a reminder that English has lots of old, redundant words that never quite died out!
