Convincible

/kənˈvɪnsəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being convinced; able to be persuaded with evidence or argument.

Etymology

From convince plus the suffix -ible (able to be), following the Latin pattern of formability. This suffix comes from Latin -ibilis.

Kelly Says

The -ible suffix is actually rarer in modern English than -able, but both mean 'capable of being'—the difference is mostly historical and etymological rather than meaningful. Words ending in -ible tend to be older or more formal.
