Enunciable

/ɪˈnʌn.ʃi.ə.bəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be enunciated, pronounced clearly, or expressed in spoken words.

Etymology

From Latin 'enuntiare' (to announce), combining 'e-' (out) and 'nuntiare' (to announce). The suffix '-able' indicates possibility or capability.

Kelly Says

Every sound in English is technically enunciable, but some combinations fight against our mouth's natural shape—that's why certain foreign accents feel so difficult to acquire.
