Able to be excepted or excluded; capable of being left out or made an exception of.
From Latin 'exceptus' (taken out) + '-able' (capable of). Derived from 'excipere' meaning to take out or exclude, with the suffix added to make it an adjective.
This rare word highlights how many medieval Latin legal terms created adjective forms we've almost completely forgotten—lawyers used 'excepable' to describe things that could legitimately be excluded from rules.
