Damageable

/ˈdæmɪdʒəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be damaged, injured, or harmed; susceptible to harm or deterioration.

Etymology

From 'damage' plus the suffix '-able' meaning 'capable of being'; all physical objects are technically damageable unless indestructible.

Kelly Says

Everything damageable teaches us something about impermanence—even diamonds, the hardest natural substance on Earth, are still damageable when struck at precise angles, showing that invulnerability is really just about not meeting the exact conditions that break you.
