Capable of being discussed or debated; open to discussion.
From Latin discutere (to examine or shake apart) + -able (suffix meaning capable of being). This rare adjective follows standard English word formation patterns.
While 'discussable' is the modern standard, 'discutable' shows the influence of French legal language, where discutable still appears in formal contexts—it's a word that lives in courtrooms and scholarly papers.
