Definition
Able to be excused, forgiven, or pardoned; deserving of forgiveness or tolerance.
Etymology
From Old French excuser + -able (from Latin -abilis). The root is Latin excusare meaning 'to free from blame,' combining ex- (out) + causa (cause, accusation), literally 'to remove the charge.'
Kelly Says
Being late because of genuine traffic is excusable, but sleeping through your alarm isn't—society has an invisible rulebook of which mistakes deserve forgiveness, and this word marks the boundary between them.
