Capable of being denounced, reported to authorities, or publicly accused of wrongdoing.
From 'denunciate' (to denounce) combined with the suffix '-able,' which indicates the capacity or possibility of being subjected to the action. Rooted in Latin 'denuntiare' (to announce, denounce).
In totalitarian regimes, the threat that one's actions were 'denunciable' became a tool of social control—the word itself has a chilling history tied to informant systems and political purges throughout the 20th century.
