Covenable

/ˈkʌvənəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being covenanted or suitable for making an agreement or covenant.

Etymology

From covenant (Middle English from Old French, from Latin convenire 'to come together') plus the suffix -able meaning 'capable of.'

Kelly Says

This archaic legal term reveals how medieval lawyers thought of agreements—not just as promises, but as solemn covenants that bound your soul and honor, making them as binding as oaths before God.
