Able to be deferred, postponed, or delayed to a future time.
From defer (Latin differre 'to carry away, put off') + -able. The Latin root combines dis- (away) and ferre (to carry), so literally 'to carry away' or postpone.
Taxes are often deferable if you qualify—the IRS lets you push the payment forward. It's a word borrowed from Latin that shows how languages love finding new ways to combine roots to express subtle legal and financial concepts.
