Disruptable

/dɪsˈrʌptəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being disrupted, interrupted, or broken apart.

Etymology

From 'disrupt' plus the suffix '-able' (from Latin -abilis, meaning capable of). This adjective formation allows the base verb to become an attribute describing things that can undergo disruption.

Kelly Says

The rise of 'disruptable' in business language shows how industries try to be honest about their vulnerabilities—companies now proudly admit their supply chains might be 'disruptable' as a way of demonstrating they've thought strategically about risks.
