Capable of being made a bishop or suitable for the position of bishop.
From Late Latin episcopabilis, derived from episcopus (bishop). The suffix -able means 'capable of' or 'suitable for,' so the word literally means 'capable of being a bishop.'
In historical church records, clergy were sometimes officially declared 'episcopable' when they met the qualifications for advancement—a formal recognition of their worthiness that was actually quite competitive.
