Counsellable

/ˈkaʊnsələbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being counseled or open to receiving advice; able to benefit from professional guidance or counsel. (British spelling variant)

Etymology

From counsel (British spelling counsell) plus -able, the British English variant of counselable.

Kelly Says

This is simply the British spelling of counselable—British English keeps the double-L in counsel and counsellor, while American English dropped it, showing how spelling conventions diverged between countries after independence!
